Here is a hand engraved cufflink I found at a turn of the century park in '01.

It wasn't until I cleaned it up that I discovered it was made from a Seated Liberty dime, and a Half Dime.

The reverse is engraved with a "W" or a "M". I guessed "W" but maybe I am wrong. There is not much left on the obverse, no date, but I can see that it is around the 1860's. The only thing visible on the Half Dime is the reeded edge.

Neat find if I do say so myself!

Enjoy!

A neat find indeed. A very crafty individual made that cuflink. Now find the other one, and you're the man. Great Find!
