Description
Silver Dollar Money Clip made from genuine 1921 Peace Dollar - Hand Cut OutNumber One.
100-Year-Old 1921 silver Peace dollars are scarce (and expensive) coins, and coveted by any silver dollar collector. 1921 is the first year of mintage in the series.
Having #1 of any collectible coin is usually very much desired by any collector. This 1921 Peace "high relief" Liberty dollar is an example of a very-desired date in the Peace silver dollar series. And desirable in any condition. With only a little over 1,000,000 minted, a limited quantity remains. The first was minted during the last four days of December 1921 - about 100 years ago! 1000's have since then been melted and disappeared over the last 10 decades.
One can see why they are so scarce (and costly to acquire in any condition!) Compare that to the 89,000,000 coins minted in 1922 and you can see why these coins are coveted.
Numismatically Undesirable Coins used to make Cut Coin Money Clips
The silver dollar coins I selected from to make this new money clip are less-desirable collector coins, fillers - all have been previously cleaned; all with some damage: holed, dented, stained, dinged, graffitied, or surface marred. And all well worn.
Many collectors have turn to these so called "date fillers" as the only way to complete a collection. I have also.
Not surprisingly, this 100th year anniversary has made them more costly to acquire. Even many of these damaged pieces have doubled in price this past year; well-worn ones are fetching over 0.
Fortunately ...
Fortunately, the damage to most of the coins I selected from are strategically limited to the reverse side, or on areas of the coin that did not reduce Miss Liberty's beauty. These less-worn-but-scare-damaged coins when polished still lead to this beautiful finished of jewelry for a man.
You won't find many 1921 cut dollars; only a handful are being offered this year in this listing in recognition of the 100th year.

Facts about this coin
Designed by Italian-born U.S. Mint medalist Anthony de Francisco he created this coin to be emblematic of (and to memorialize) Peace following the end of WWI.
The coin you see pictured here had some negative numismatic issues (graffiti to obverse void area) making it more of a filler, and less desired, but cut out as shown, then heavily polished, it worked perfect for a very, very, special money clip. It has been hand cut out by Master Coincutter Mr. Cut Coin in full 99.9% detail. Each of the letters in LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, Goddess of Liberty, and date has been cut in and around.
It looks fragile, but is secure: each character is connected to other parts of the coin using a cutting technique known as a pyramid cut.
How was it Made
This is a new clip, with a recently cut coin. Exclusive from The Cut Coin Store.
First, a few tiny holes are drilled in strategic locations around the coin, and within the letters and numbers, then an even smaller jewelers blade is threaded into each hole, one at a time, and a portion of the coin is cut, or carved away leading to the stunningly handsome piece shown. Then it is mounted in a new, stainless steel, dollar coin money clip.
You can see right through the coin. (See picture with 1000 bill). The darker background is included to enhance the cut portion on your computer.
