    Description

    Uncirculated Oklahoma Quarter
    Shrunk by Ultra-strong Magnetic Fields!
    This is a genuine uncirculated Oklahoma state quarter that we have
    "shrunk"
    using extremely powerful magnetic fields. Using specialized equipment in our high voltage lab, we created an invisible, but extremely intense, pulsed magnetic field which "hammered" the outer rim of the coin inwards, evenly shrinking it
    to the diameter of a dime.
    The entire process only took
    25 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 coin. Shrunken coins are an amazing demonstration of the incredible power of ultrastrong magnetic fields.
    This is NOT magic or "Honey, I shrunk the kids" kind of science fiction, it's simply 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! See
    About Me
    for examples of other shrunken coins, our beautiful Captured Lightning sculptures, and to learn more about the mad scientist at Stoneridge Engineering. Also, please check out
    my other auctions.
    Amazingly, the coin's features are preserved through the shrinking process! Each coin comes with a one-page explanation of the how the shrinking process works.
    Note: Send me an eBay message to substitute a different state or Eagle quarter.
    Shrunken coins are educational and unique, and they're only available from us. Physics CAN be fun!
    A unique prize for that collector or amateur scientist on your gift list!
