One of my most favorite commemorative coins is that Illinois Centennial. Here is another:

 

Whoa! That is one awesome painting, Coppermania! Nice work!

 

Thanks rlm. Have never seen one of those.

Your welcome. I also thought it rather funny. It has all the types of Lincolns - EXCEPT the VDB. And that is the most popular variety.

 

I remember Presidential Art Medals by the Medalic Art. Co in the '60s & 70's. I think they made some in Silver. I wonder if anybody has any of those Silver ones?

 

I'm not sure but they did make these in silver and bronze.

 

Do you guys know Charles Daughtrey (coppercoins.com)? This guy is the man when it comes to Lincoln cents. He is also a great artist on paper and the keyboard. Charles is a member here but have not seen him post in a while. This is some of his work.

 

That is really nice, Copper. Do you use other media when you're painting? Oils? Pen & Ink? Pastels? Watercolor? Just curious.

Thanks, cpm9ball. I actually used some old airbrush paints I had laying around from 10 years ago. I had to reconstitute some of them to bring them back to life. I get real cheap when it comes to supplies and I kind of like knowing it is my effort that makes the work not the paint kit. Plus the framing cost a bundle and that particular frame was close to 500 bucks. When a person is in the creative mindset, any type of paint and ink is totally usable. I like mixing them all. The purists like oil as a classic medium out of respect mainly and I agree but it can get spendy and in the end not really necessary to get the point across. I just don't get to do many of these as I really don't do it for money and my day job takes most of my attention. I just do a few now and then to delight myself and my wife and this time I just wanted to do the coin. With that said, there are some things I would do different even looking at it next to my avitar, but I will always think that and it doesn't really bug me that much, and as long as the "s" is right and the wheat lines and kernels are the right number I'm happy, so on to the next piece. Thanks again, Matt

 

Matt, as a side note, my Mom did all of her own glass cutting, matting and framing over her last 30 years. She was able to save a small fortune that way.

Going for Bust

How about this likeness?

No history for it yet but Dad always got drafted to be somewhere and look kinnda like this for years.

I think it was presented to him for doing his part.

 

How about this beauty?





I owned this beautiful coin (RAW) and traded it or sold it not so long ago. I believe the guy I did the deal with, certified it and let kryptonitecomic (Shane) sell it and sold for about $250.00 +/- . At the time, I was asking $90.00 . It goes to show you what toning premium brings.
