LazyCatCutCoins' Shop Announcement  Rob Johnson is a coin
cutting fool from the Pacific Northwest. It has been almost
twenty years since he picked up the craft of coin cutting from a
homeless man passing through his town in the early 1990s. The
first fifteen years of cutting produced little reward for the
young craftsman, and he traded most of his work for beer. This
kept Rob drunk as a skunk throughout his twenties, as he
traveled about the continent, cutting coins, making friends, and
living the high life of an industrious tramp. Then, in 2008, a
pretty girl at a street market in Portland, Oregon, compelled
Rob into checking out as a potential venue from which to peddle
his coins. He reluctantly complied, and much to his surprise,
found NO cut coins on the entire site. Upon this discovery, he
bombed Esty with cut coin sales, and immediately began to reap
the benefits from his craft that had been eluding him for years.
Fast forward, five years; Rob is still going strong as Etsy’s
premier coin cutter, though
