    Yes, it does rate high on the cool scale! Maybe this guy should look into that "artistic infusion" program the U.S. Mint is running.

    Nice! Even my crippled artistic side likes it.

    Wonder what he does to re-tone it from what was probably very shiny silver when the carving was done?

    Probably one of these air hammers ...

    That is a cool design, has a very 1920's look to it.

    Rick Kay has a couple of them (different designs) done by the same guy.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Geez...I've spent a lot more money than that on coins that didn't have anywhere near that amount of class. I'm a fan!

    Isn't this against eBay rules?

    Impressive work, I was wondering if this was the same guy who made the shoolgirl RKay posted a while back. Here's his Homer nickel.

    What's an Ebay rule? Selling a grilled cheese 'Virgin Mary' sandwich for $7,000 is OK??? LOL
    Virgin Mary Grilled LINK

    This item was up to $69,107.69 but click on the "bids" and see how many bids were cancelled and retracted. The person who listed this obviously needs some help spelling these words:

    extroidinary
    disingration
    potiental
    recipts
    solem
    potinetal
    potiental
    personell
    thier
    phenomon
    ect
    recieved
    ridiclous
    proivided

    I suppose that anyone who can sell a 10 year old grilled cheese sandwich for $69K+ probably doesn't need to learn how to spell. hehehe
