    welcome. you're already over half the usual hurdles by being a machinist. there are some woh think making ones' own tools is a waste of time. true for a person with a heavy backlog. for a dude such as yourself, why not make yer own . good luck, and show us what you come up with.

    Coin engraving

    a dreml with a small burr, a properly sharpened nail, a very small riffler file, and perhaps a hundred or so other ways. are you intending to do "hobo" nickel carving ? if so, don't remove the date. i forgot- a very small flat-bladed screwdriver would serve as well.
