Seamus, do you really cut those with a sabre saw? Which blade do you use? I was thinking about gluing a penny to a thin board, drilling it out and using needle files to contour the parts. Do you think that would work or a band scroll saw with a fine blade?
Appreciate getting your guidance.

I use a dremel scroll saw like this:
I use really thin blades:biggrin:. Take a piece of aluminum foil and fold it 3 times, smash it really well, that is how thin these are. Now, try to cut it out. Its difficult, time consuming, yet challenging, and I love it! I hope everyone that reads anything i post realizes that i dont mean to sound rude or short about my techniques, there are just certain things that i dont give out. But thank you for asking and being inquisitive, thats how you learn, right?!:biggrin:
Very Nice! What about a wheat penny?
I just found a wheat penny at work today! I still need to cut one of those and an Indian head penny too!
These are on my to-do list:
Wheat pennies
Indian head pennies
Liberty nickels
buffalo nickels
Mercury dimes
Barber quarters
200 year old (US Large Cent)
Australian coinage
