Shoulda got a '64 to make Russ jealous

Russ · October 23, 2002 9:58AM

I'm definitely getting one of those.

Russ, NCNE

I do intend on having a '64 done. The '76 I have here was one that he already had done.
In case you're wondering... he told me that proof coins don't come out too well. Probably because of the extra striking.

Every time I look at this thing I have to laugh out loud. It's just plain hilarious to hold this thing in your hand.

Clark

p.s.
I've got a JFK that Russ doesn't have! Na na na na na!

GaCoinGuy · October 23, 2002 10:07AM

Where do I get one done? I have a 69 I'd like.

GaCoinNewbie - I remember reading in a thread earlier this year. Link Libertad has a link to a site that does this kind of thing. The site goes along with the Halloween season.

Wow! Russ, that is one SERIOUS DDO you have there!

Bert is a great guy. Very personable

jakemrjr · October 23, 2002 10:58AM

Russ, what does the reverse of that coin look like? Just curious.

Jake,

The opposite of the obverse.

Punched in.

Russ, NCNE

ClarkOfKent · October 23, 2002 11:05AM

66Tbird,

I agree with your assessment of Bert. I had an email conversation with him recently, and he's very willing to discuss what he does.

In addition to the proofs, silver clad doesn't work well either. He experimented on some of both with coins I sent him .

It's strange that the clad proofs don't work well, because they're the same composition as the circulation strikes. Either something in the way the planchets are prepared, or perhaps higher striking pressure causes the metal to react differently... they implode more violently, even when he cranked down the power.

Also the mirrored fields are no longer after being shrunk.

I am not in favor of coin mutilation. I consider it "coin cruelty"

Whoah, Clark, now that is freaky!

Russ, NCNE

ClarkOfKent · October 24, 2002 1:52AM

I suffer from "Too much time on my hands." You think maybe I should go to work? It's almost noon.

Russ · October 24, 2002 1:57AM

I'm worse. I'm at work.

Go build something, Russ

Now I have more free time... I have English, then French, then Study Hall

g097103 · October 24, 2002 3:05AM

It looks like Opie when it is shrunk. I have to get one of those.

I have a Half and a State quarter. I'd be interested in seeing a dime. The half shrinks to the size of a quarter and the quarter the size of a dime so a dime would be really small.

D · November 5, 2006 3:16PM

Wonder how small a three center would shrink to.

DANG IT RUSS! I leaped outta my chair with that one...Poltergiest Kennedy, next time give the "ole' heart club" some warning!

Wow, a four+ year thread reanimated. How did you even find it? I'm genuinely curious as to how these things come back.

Just stumbled upon it in a random forum search. Honestly wasn't even looking.
