preserved for eternity!
this was snagged off ebay. I suspected the coins were "original" by the images but you never know. I always assumed "they" put cleaned versions of coins in there. they look freaking awesome. too bad they're permanently entombed.
I'm thinking this was recently done? I mean, usually this type of stuff was done for promotions and corporate stuff. The lucite here has zero indictors as to make or reason. it just... is.
anyway, nice paperweight

<< <i>They can be removed >>
really? I thought any method of removal involved noxious chemicals or excessive force
and acetone to dissolve it isn't good to breathe, but the container used to melt it away should be sealed while it is soaking.

please offer it for sale rather than messing with the plastic, there's just not that much upside in what someone would recover from a lot of work and mess.
Someone who has freed coins from lucite, please show us pictures of the coin(s) and tell us how long you worked at it, thanks.
Neat neat item, wish I'd seen it.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>it might be difficult or dangerous to the fingers to reduce the amount of lucite or acrylic by cutting it away with a saw, but I wouldn't call that excessive force.

I see plenty of threads out there where this is theory and people talking out loud, do you have direct experience with this? just curious about the real viability. that being said, I dont think it's worth the effort with these guys. unless someone tells me we have a rare variety. in that case, it's already pre-slabbed and nearly guaranteed against casual harm!

I think it is more likely contemporary.
Maybe originally the corporate logo or whatever was on a velvet bag that held the paperweight.
