About a pound of it ;D lol .... I did this one this afternoon, it's the smallest cab the I've wrapped so far. The cab is about the size of a penny, and silver is definitely the wire for moonstone!! ...

Randy, how are you making those absolutely perfect circles? If you hadn't put those coins in the pic, I would never had known how tiny it is. Absolutely too cool. And I agree agree about the silver. Some of that stuff has pink or gold running through, which may take to the gold wire better. Jo

Everything is bent by hand except for the two tiny circles at the bottom. Those were done using the round-nosed pliers.

I started collecting coins when I was 5 years old, and purchased my first uncirculated Morgan when I was 7. The Morgan dollar is my favorite coin! The ones in the pic are all above MS-65

Dang, Randy, you must have tiny fingers for a big biker guy to be able to work that small. So delicately well done. Impressive. Tony

That is so nice. What gauge is your wire? I bought some 24 gauge square- it looks so tiny. Even the 22 half round- you really can not see the shape of the wire. where do you purchase your wire?

I use 22 gauge square (dead soft) and 21 gauge half round (half hard), these seem to work the best for me. I would think that 24 gauge would be too small, but some people like it.

That is one sweet little killer pendant. As always, the wrap is flawless and considering that the size of the cab is smaller than your thumb that is pretty amazing.
Those coins are cool also.
