<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2314505, member: 24633&quot;]I&#039;ll bet that someone was planning to make a &quot;cut-out&quot; coin as a piece of pendant jewelry. I remember the first time I saw an artisan making a piece at a crafts show in Chincoteague, VA back in the early 70&#039;s. He was using a Mercury dime.</p><p><br /></p><p>They use a very small drill bit to make a hole in each part of the field, then they use a very, very fine coping saw blade to cut those parts of the field out. Afterward, they polish the rest of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cut-out+coins&amp;qpvt=cut-out+coins&amp;qpvt=cut-out+coins&amp;FORM=IGRE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cut-out+coins&amp;qpvt=cut-out+coins&amp;qpvt=cut-out+coins&amp;FORM=IGRE" rel="nofollow">http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cut-out+coins&amp;qpvt=cut-out+coins&amp;qpvt=cut-out+coins&amp;FORM=IGRE</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
