Auke Van Dokkum Walking Liberty Sun and Moon Commemorative Coin Set

Description

Auke Van Dokkum was a very clever machinist that passed away a few years ago. His items have become extremely rare and highly sought after.

This is a beautiful sun and moon coin set made with a genuine silver walking liberty half dollar

You’ll notice that the shell has a shim as well, so it is magnetic

Auke had a very unique and clever way of placing the shim into the shell. From the photos it looks crude, but this is not true. He actually used a very thin film to cover the entire surface of the shell, and the very thin magnetic shim. So that way, when you take your thumb and rub it inside of the shell, you can’t actually feel the shim. It is covered with the yellowish tinted film that you can see in the photos. Very deceptive. This film is very smooth and makes for a very smooth action of the nesting of the shell

This set is also unique in that it is made from the old style English pennies with the king rather than the queen. Also comes with two extra vintage English pennies that have been cut down so they fit perfectly into the shell.

Extremely rare!

Everything is in great condition. No dents or dings to the shell.
