" Tesla Coil Half Dollar Eagle Cufflinks " Item # SW202
$ 225.00
The Half Dollar American Eagle coin is one of our favorite designs, but far too
large for a cufflink. Until now. Using a Tesla Coil, these coins are
compressed approximately 42% to a size smaller than a quarter (about 7/8") using
a massive 100,000 amperes of electricity for less than 25 millionths of a
second.
No mass is lost, no feature is distorted. Instead the coins become thicker
and details more pronounced. Bezel set in solid sterling silver with
a handmade skeleton frame backing so that you can see both sides of the coin.
Gift boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity and regular
half dollar coin so you can marvel at what a little electricity (or in this case a
LOT) can accomplish! Gift
boxed.
