Latest nickel "Dickens"

[Degs]

Just finished this coin with a Dickens theme, based on a still from an old Oliver film. Supposed to be Fagin and Oliver.

Still can't do those Billzach backgrounds though........


Cheers

Now that looks like a real precious coin. Super!! I like it a lot.

 

[Billzach]

Wow, amazing work..It couldn,t be any better.

This carving will be a jewel in any carved nickel collection no matter how advanced... having an English theme is just the frosting on the cake and makes it cracking wicked! Is that how you guys say it across the pond Degs?

Another masterwork, Degs.
Your sculpture is fantastic.

Tip a jar for me, best John B.

You and the others in the engravers cafe who are carving coins are moving the level of coin carving to new highs, we are developing a new line of collectors from the coin world and the art world, which will open new doors for us..

 

[Mike Cirelli]

You did a great job. Absolutely superb.

That truly is an amazing piece. Definitely a a crown jewel for someone's collection.

Thanks for the very kind words fellas......

I'm probably repeating myself, but.... this is the best engravers resource on the internet and because of the guys that participate in the cafe, giving their hard earned knowledge freely, I've been able to improve my carving skills 10 fold.

Thanks again guys.

Cheers

That is just so very beautiful!!

I'm starting to doubt if I should put up my first try on nickel I'm finishing right now. Yours is way better than I can do.

Excellent work!

[Degs]

Vilts, Jerry and Stephen....Thanks for the kind words....

Vilts, post your nickel. Better is subjective anyway. I'm sure others would get a buzz from seeing your first nickel carving, and then your progress as you post more....

Cheers
