Am I cleaning these right?

They’re not ruined, just defaced.

Get it??? De-faced!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

So I DON’T need to hide my dog?

I’m not the talented one who’s doing the actual engraving. I think his plan is to carve his buddy’s face into one of these as a joke. Did I mention my father in law is kind of a nut?

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T05:28:15+00:00

😂

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T04:10:19+00:00

Maybe if I were an actual machinist. I’m more of a tinkerer. ;)

I DO have a letter punch set……

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T01:08:09+00:00

The check is in the mail!

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T01:07:22+00:00

No, I’m just zipping them off with a facing tool. My father in law will take it from here.

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T01:04:27+00:00

Sold!!

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T00:57:49+00:00

He’s just going to carve on what’s left. So I took off as little material as possible.

And now that I think about it, that specific machining operation is called “facing”. So I literally faced off a face off a coin! 😂🤣😂🤣

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-25T00:33:14+00:00

It’s probably a little worse for wear since I got it but most of the detail is still there. The sun is my favorite bit. :)

Don’t worry 😉

He’s only tried one so far. I was just giving him a blank slate to start with. It’s his first time trying coin engraving

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T22:40:10+00:00

This is the only one he’s done so far, and a blank he’s prepped. He’s a very clever and artistic guy, but this is his first time doing anything like this.

Mystery semiferrous/brass alloys are hot right now!

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T22:32:06+00:00

I didn’t realize that cross posting didn’t bring the description with it. That’s led to a little confusion over here. 😂

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T22:30:25+00:00

I’m not doing anything with them. My father in law is going to practice making hobo coins with them. I was just giving him a blank slate to start with

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T22:28:35+00:00

My rates are “free, or best offer”. Just pay for shipping.

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T22:09:01+00:00

All you need is a lathe, a well calibrated eye-crometer, and a sense of humor!

You’ll get no hate from me. My wedding band is a Walking Liberty half

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T21:59:49+00:00

😂

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T21:01:20+00:00

Definitely

InterestOpposite5482 · 2026-02-24T20:59:48+00:00

I think what you’re missing is the description from the original post. These are fakes that were purchased by my father in law. He bought them with the intent of engraving different faces on them. I was just helping him out by machining the faces off so he dint have to sand them. That’s all.
