    ANOTHER FIVE CENTS WORTH...

    Thanks...here’s a coin I did a while back...and the copy of it that has been floating around eBay and the like...I’m not too worried that they would be mistaken for the original...the extra depth in cutting more of a 3D style and the tiny details really makes it hard to reproduce or even cast...
