This 1882-S will fir well into my 1 o'clock spot for my coin clock, which will one day be compete and made as a working clock face. This is an 1882-S graded MS-67 with bowl luster on both sides. Still need the 2, 8, 9 and 11 o'clock spots


10-4,

    Clever idea, never thought of trying that out.
    I only own a 7 o'clock. (or maybe 7:30)

    Thanks. No-just images. I could use actual coins tho, for the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions. The clock face perimeter is made of slate.

    @koynekwest... Thanks for the reply. I thought those points were too uniform and alike to be authentic....but certainly possible. I would hunt for real ones to go on that clock... such a really nice piece of work. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks again, ricko! I will consider that-12 and 6 mounted with the obverse showing and 3 and 9 with the reverse.

    Thanks! But that is a one of a kind slate clock face. I'd like to try it with others that are more available.

    Very clever idea - hope you're not going to use the actual coins in the clock face??

    Oh no! I'm planning on using just the images and getting the clock face printed on either metal or some other material.
