    I was expecting something really crappy looking, but that table actually looks really cool.

    Very creative and nice "artistic flair".

    And not to go off topic too far, this poster is one of the most fascinating works of art , I've ever seen.
    It comes from one of our illustrious forum members. Charles. D. (Kudos, kudos) at coppercoins.com … No affiliation to me. I just like his work.

    Every once in a while, people notice the PHOTO (poster) and have to get up close and personal to see what it really is.

    ART… ya gotta love it

    Until a person gets up close , it's difficult to appreciate what sort of work goes into a "Labor of love".

    Ok, I'm impressed with that table... the pattern really makes a difference. image

    The Lincoln image above is pretty cool, too.

    Very cool!!! Nicely placed in a symmetrical pattern too. This would be a great gift to a fellow collector. He should mass produce. It would be highly priced of course. Not only because of the face value of the pennies but all the time and effort.image

    Someone had a lot of extra time on his hands. If he runs short of cash will he take the door to the bank?image

    Assuming they were all zinc cents the extra added weight would be in the neighborhood of 13045 grams or 460 oz converted to 28 3/4 lbs

    Course if there were any pre 82's this door would weight much more.

    Imagine how it would look with only the "steel" cents involved? I would place the '43 double die somewhere inside and one would have to search for it and see how long before you find it!
