Uncirculated Alaska Quarter Shrunk by Ultra-Strong Magnetic Fields! This is a genuine uncirculated Alaska state quarter that has actually been "shrunk" by extremely powerful magnetic fields. Using specialized equipment in my high voltage lab, I created an invisible, but extremely intense, pulsed magnetic field which literally "hammered" the outer rim of the coin inwards, evenly shrinking it to the diameter of a dime. The whole process only took 20-25 millionths of a second, and was accompanied by an explosion and a blinding blue-white flash! You can read all about the technical details of the process Here. This is NOT magic or "Honey, I shrunk the kids" science fiction, it's high-power electromagnetism at work. Each coin requires its own hand-wound coil which is explosively destroyed during the shrinking process. A shrunken coin weighs the same as before - it's simply smaller in diameter and somewhat thicker! See About Me for more information, to view examples of other shrunken coins, and to learn more about Stoneridge Engineering. Also, please check out my other auctions. Amazingly, the coin's features remain beautifully preserved! Each coin comes with a one-page explanation of the how the shrinking process works. Lucky buyer can request a quarter from a different state - collect all the states! Shrunken coins are educational and unique - Physics CAN be fun! A unique gift for the collector or amateur scientist on your list!
