When you shake it, the bird bounces on the limb . . .   Yep, to fragile to wear.

Al

I put it in a pill  bottle.  It's almost all copper with a slight covering of silver.

Frank, I'm not sure I understand the question.  If it is how little/big are the coins, in this case, it would be 30.6 mm diameter and 2 mm thick.

I bet certain muscles were tightened while cutting that.  ;D Was your last cut the twig to the left to make the gap?

I left the tail and that back section intact to hold the bird, intact while cutting the fragile pieces.  Then cut away the support. 

As for Franks' question on how the coin is held, in this case I held it by hand, no jig.  On smaller coins I super glue to attached it to a thin piece of wood so it can be manipulated easier.  I have a card taped over the hole to make a zero clearance setup to support the fragile pieces.
