New Hobby.. Coin Cutting

[olekyground]

I was checking out a website a monh or so ago and found this person who makes jewelry from coins. I thought it was really neat so I decided to take it in. here's one of my first ones. its a large chinese coin I bought from a friend. Took a while to cut it but I think it turned out good. If anyone may be interested in me making one for them I would be more then happy to. thanks for looking!

That's pretty cool.
Keep making more, and you'll keep getting better!

 

[lostcauses]

what are you using to cut it with??

 

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

That is cool, and pretty good job too.

I found one a year or so ago, I didn't recognize it as a coin for some time afterward, given my eyesight, and being quite black, which is an 1887 mexican 5 cent.

Very nice...I've seen some very intricate cut coins using these methods. There is a guy in NJ that does some very nice work. I was thinking about getting a set of Mexican coins cut into earnings for my mother-in-law...my inlaws love traveling to Mexico.

People do some interesting things with coins...I'm still amazed by coin rings and hobo nickels. Some very talented people out there...you included.

Good luck with the new hobby.

I was wondering why being quite black is a problem? Color doesn't affect someone's eyesight that I'm aware of. If it does please give me a link to some medical information. I know that black people can sometimes get sickle cell anemia but am unaware of other health problems that can arise from being african american or negro. Thanks

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the coin being black/dark colored.

No, it's not Plehbah. Nobody could take Plehbah's place. Where is he these days? Something seems to be missing without his words of wisdom and inspirational detecting adventures.
