Fitting Tribute

Sunday 23 November 2008 @ 10:51 pm

Coin collector Jeff Haber and his teen son Danny “coin” a fitting tribute to the 14th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. According to the Coinsdig.com, the Habers used approximately $24 worth of pennies to recreate a portrait of Lincoln after being inspired by a presidential portrait at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum in St. Augustine, Florida.

Pennies offer the broadest palette for the numismatic mosaic due to the fact that pennies are the only U.S. coins which become discolored with age and handling. This, along with the symbolic connection of Lincoln’s head appearing on the obverse side of the penny, made it a logical, cheap, and artistically fulfilling choice for the portrait.

I hope you can find inspiration in this video which will enable you to render your photographs and memories in a way where they can be displayed and enjoyed everyday.
