I think this 51 Large Cent "may" have been used as a pie crust fluted tool.

I'm told this 09-VDB "may" have been used as a button years ago.

    Imagine going to a coin show where you could make, bake and eat a pie made with this? :)

    Imagine going to a coin show and seeing one of these things made from a 1793 Strawberry Leaf! People would pay to see it! :D

    The centered holed ones might work for spur rowels.

    I'd feel really bad if one of the experts here said that 09-VDB I posted was an S!!! :s

    Have seen Morgan dollars made into spur rowels at one of the western stores (Tourist traps) in Tombstone, AZ. Way overpriced for such common dates!.... :* One set was cut so sharp that they would have probably disemboweled the poor horse. Hopefully a drug store cowboy bought them since I don't think a real rider would have wore them.

    I have heard someone say there is one of these made from a 1793. I've never seen a picture of it though. Not even sure if it exists, but I don't entirely doubt its existence.

    That is too cool.

    Would love to get my wife a IHC bracelet... though she would probably like it better in gold.
