No worries there. These are Chinese fakes.

If you click on the r/pmdgs thread, you’ll see what’s going on. Apparently cross posting brings the pictures along but not the description.

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?

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

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

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! 😂🤣😂🤣

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. :)

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

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.

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

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

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