Nice looking coin. Will there be a follow-up girl to go with the boy? Makes my collecting eye twitch! Thanks for showing the boy.

Both you and Bill have the bar set way up high when it comes to coins and smooth backgrounds.
I have your coin that I was lucky to win in the 1,000 member contest and it too is flawless.
Thank you for donating it, I am constantly amazed when I study it.
It looks just like a Frosted Mint Proof coin direct from the U.S. treasuary.

Best, John B.

Hello All,

Well am new to engraving, and learning by the minute. I am also an avid coin and banknote (Paper Money)collector, now I know what to do will all my left over coins and duplicates, very interesting work, have heard of coin cutting, but like this more, as a side note old banknotes, and some recent ones are fantastic samples of scroll work and engraving, lovley examples, will have to do some scans and post them when I get back from hollidays.
