I said exactly the same thing when I saw it.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Wow would love to see that in person, what a piece of history.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

How is that tray any more wasteful than any other numismatic item?
BTW, the tray has a very good home. (No, it's not mine.)

I wonder if it was submitted to a TPG for grading if it would body bag or be graded and slabbed. I also wonder how big the slab would be and how much the grading fee would be on this item?

Now knowing that they aren't....WOW
It would look a lot better with a Sam Adams settin' on it.

Wasteful in a sense that the tray did not add any value to the coins, but devalued the coins to genuine pieces.
Wasteful in a sense that the coins are now only decorative pieces with little numismatic values!
I don't see anything neat or cool about this tray, but sad, yes very sad!

Agree. Someone ruined a lot of coins to make that tray.
