Just the talent and how you make your gravers do things is all,I dident mean anything bad by the statement.

Thanks Monk........ How's the lion coming on........

slower than molasses on that frozen roof. i had to stop a couple days. my customers are *****in about their work not getting done. at least for now, none are impressed with the nickel work. if they don't soon quit bangin on my door -

 

[Degs]

Nobody's impressed over her in the UK. Give some one a carved coin, and they flip it over .... take a look...flip it over.........." So, it's a nickel....... what've ya done.... where's the engraving". Oooops sorry... it's that tiny bit on the edge..... I put my name on it......

Englands Market for Nickels

re the comment about the lack of interest in England over coins
There the market is in art medals
the nickel carving is an American folk art and no doubt a looser there but you can put your coins on ebay and sell them.
