    Description

    Shrunken Eagle Style Washington Quarter
    and Normal-Sized Mate
    Shrunk by Ultra-Strong Pulsed Magnetic Fields!
    This item is a pair of matching uncirculated US quarters. One of the coins has been
    "shrunk"
    by extremely powerful magnetic fields, allowing you to closely compare the differences between normal-sized and shrunken coins. Using specialized equipment in my high voltage lab, I created invisible, but extremely intense, pulsed magnetic fields which evenly compressed the outer rim of the shrunken coin inwards, shrinking it
    to the diameter of a dime.
    The whole process only took
    20 millionths of a second, and was accompanied by an explosion and a blinding blue-white flash! Technical details will be provided in a one-page summary supplied with the coins. Shrunken coins are an amazing demonstration of the incredible power of ultrastrong magnetic fields.
    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 a bit thicker!

    Amazingly, the shrunken coin's features remain beautifully preserved through the shrinking process! Each shrunken coin comes with a one-page explanation of the how the shrinking process works. Actual year and mint mark may vary from the example pictured below, but each set will be a matched pair.
    Shrunken coins are educational, unique, and they make ideal gifts. Physics CAN be fun!
    A unique gift for that collector or amateur scientist on your gift list!
