Gotta coin you just can't part with ? Something I've done.

Just a 1905 Indian Head. Cleaned him up as best I could. Mounted him on a chair I refinished. Lot's of places to do this. Like on a vessel, auto, etc. Handing down a coin, sometimes causes a yawn.

Great idea! It is said old timey boat builders dropped a gold coin under the main mast when it was stepped...If I ever come across an old wreck, I will attempt to pull the mast stump to see!

I saw a picture of a car where somebody glued copper pennys all over the exterior..that looked pretty sweet...some guys posted on the Hobby Forum how they inlet coins into their treasure boxes too...All good, and like you said, something like what you made should have an appreciation value to somebody..

Hi Mud, Dancer, I heard pretty much the same thing about how some old timers would put a coin somewhere underneath one of the hearth / threshold bricks when a fireplace was first built , Many years ago with my first detector (a BFO) I found a dime at the base of an old long gone chimney. The dime was rough and completely worn so not to see any writing on it but could still tell it " had been" a Dime. I always imagined the years of being between the bricks and all those years of lives and activity there is what wore it so bad. Cool thoughts and I always ponder on those lives every time I look at that Dime! HH. Charlie

A friend of mine found a Large cent in the stones of an old chimney. Not sure of the year. I'm still intrigued by the 1976 penny super glued to the power meter of my house. My house was built in 71, so I'm not sure how the 1976 penny plays into things.
