As I’m painting the flips this morning, I came to realize that this seemingly simple act actually transforms the fate of both the penny and the flip in which it’s contained. The ordinary kismet of the flip would be to be discarded at the next trade. As a WOA — Work of Art — it is almost guaranteed to be treated quite differently, although works of art have been known to end up in the Sally Ann Thrift Stores now and then. You’ll find some of my coin flip art on eBay these days.
