1) Yes, the picture came through.

2) May be your first post but I'm thinking that is not your first coin - very nice!

Engraving is really advancing my artistic skills but it's kind of like something being able to claim they've doubled without having to note that now they have 2.

Hey Chef David! Lookin' good man! My only critique may not be valid. It looks like you need more definition in the forehead area. Now, it may just be that the photo washed out that part of the engraving. Whatever, your work is getting exceptional and I want to see some of it on a firearm soon!

Very Good! There is also

One more less known horse.

By the way, Dave great engraving of Robert E. Lee. You also make great spare ribs too!

The name of the other horse was Lucy Long.

JJ --- I didn't even try to talk David out of it as it was a commissiond piece. There is more detail than meets the eye --- picture just doean't show it. However, I'd be proud to own it !
