For those of you who are coin collectors, you might know this guy, Dan "Tiny" Cross. He lives in Missouri and is a fixture at the ANA Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs each summer. This year he showed me a nickel that someone had carved of him and I knew that a nickel wasn't big enough to showcase his full tinyness, so I did the following. Well, did I do good?

I'm betting that everyone who can see the pictures has a Photobucket account and those of us (like me) who don't have a Photobucket account just see the X

OK, lets try this one more time. I uploaded in Firefox and the picture works there fine, I am trying Internet Explorer now and its giving me fits, but I think I may have it. Here is Dan "Tiny" Cross as a dollar.



Yup, I had too big of a file for the forum. I shrunk it and now it should work.

You nailed it! Can see it now-Steve I have photobucket account and still does not show in first post but it was worth the effort for sure. Fred

Too bad Mike - I can see 'em (in that last attempt) and they look great!

I may have to try that trick of laying the subject photo over a photo of the coin as a layout tool. Doing the overlay gives you an immediate reference for where everything winds up on the coin.

Steve,

I will often do the layout on the computer like this and then print out the pic, glue it to the coin, outline with an x-acto knife, then start cutting. Much easier than me trying to draw the design on the coin.
