Seamus, have you considered making pewter castings of your Tru-Quarters after you're done scrolling them? You can make silicone molds to cast the pewter. I know you can use rubber because people have been using vulcanized rubber to cast lead figurines for decades. Pewter would be soft enough to bend around the pen tube and you'd be able to replicate without destroying more quarters.

People have mentioned this before, but i like destroying the quarters:biggrin:. Besides, it wouldnt be a Tru-Quarter™ if it was made from pewter
This is art to me, and the pen tubes are my canvas! In my mind, as crazy as that may be, I strive to make things that are unique, real, and that create the thoughts "how did he do that" when my work is viewed. I'm not perfect, I do make mistakes, like we all do. But I do believe that we are our own worst critics! I hope I dont wear everyone out with showing off these quarters or any other coins I may cut. Just want to share how they look! thanks for viewing

I believe he would end up in a federal penitentiary...
I can't see that it would matter if I duplicated them, with as much of the coin is cut out, would it really make a difference. But, with that said, I will never replicate the coins I use with fake coins, its just not the same to me.

Keep 'em coming! I love to see them!
You'll see that a lot of us want to see more.
Very nice work!
You must be totally confident in you clear casting. One air bubble and the whole coin is toast.
I'd like to see this one cast when you have it ready. I think it would be cool with the state colors, should give it kind of a retro look.

Beautiful job Seamus!!!! You must have the steady hands of a surgeon and eyes like an eagle to get that precise. You never cease to amaze! Thanks for showing... and the preview:wink:. Doc
I wouldnt go that far Doc! I do have the help of a magnifying lens headset
Do surgeons use those:tongue:
They absolutely do. Probably stronger magnification than yours, too.
All I can say is its a masterpeice
