    Nice work! Are you selling them or giving them away FREE? Their awesome!
    Have you seen the work of that guy in I believe, Russia? He does this sort of thing but with moving parts. It's really interesting.

    I think there is a good market! If you tour the US Mint they had them in the gift shop (I need to call them and see if they need more).
    For really special coins full date nickels and Morgan dollars are nice. I also like to do half dollars and sone foreign coins

    Thanks! I really like the detailed coins a lot! I have done some ocean scenes- old sailing ships from the middle ages being attacked by a giant Grouper like fish. But those were for special commissions on Morgan dollars.
    The moving parts coins are cool! I want to get a lathe so I can do those!

    Brent, I’ll bet there are many here on ct who would enjoy owning one of your coins! I’d like one myself. Have you thought about selling them here on ct?

    I think its a great idea! I have hobo nickels on Mercari - if you search hobo nickel on that site I have some for $10 plus shipping. But Mercari wants to promote themselves so new users get a $10 off coupon so the hobo is just the cost of shipping which is a great deal. I also post on ebay- usually at 5-6pm on Sunday so the auction ends on 5-6pm. I need to start trying to sell more- there are some ways of doing really detailed hobo nickels and it takes a lot of time. I am concentrating too much on that lol.
