<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1044325, member: 17919&quot;]I think it was probably just a novelty. My kit was ordered from the Sears Wishbook, I think, and I received it as either a birthday or Christmas present. I, myself, didn&#039;t put any rare coins in the paperweights I made (I couldn&#039;t even afford rare coins back then). But I did make a nice paperweight with some Mercury dimes, and another with an old Queen Victoria florin. My grandmother covered the bottoms of the paperweights with felt. As I recall, I took a hammer to one of the paperweights and was able to get the coin out that way. But now I wish I had left the paperweight intact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
