Great work mbitr, tbh I could not recall what the piece even was until this auction, as I don't recall winning it here -  but maybe it was an old slack xmas raffle or something! Cheesy

Yep - think it was a raffle mania Xmas a few years back that they went out - crazy times Smiley

I had the 5 made and was then gonna see if I could do a limited series with different coins etc. But like most things I never got round to it !!
I love the concept of cut coins - got my first one 25yrs ago - a 20p with the cut out of the Queen smoking a doobie  Smiley
Not sure if it’s worth getting any more made - different design and coin from these for sure.
The coin selection is crucial and I’d love to see a cas blank/redeemed done , but I really don’t think it would add any value for a collector and you would be defiling already gorgeous coins.
Sorry, just a few random thoughts ??

I think it would be awesome to have like a peeled Cas dime with a small added on silver loop, like the cut coin above ... I wouldn't necessarily call that defiling, but I hear you on that!

I love your thinking though, very cool and original ideas for sure, thanks again for reminding me what the piece was, I feel kind of like an asshole now for not remembering, but yes, that year/xmas was a bit crazy/busy! Tongue

Thanks again for the raffle win and the info(s)!

Cheers! Smiley
