    What would Ben have looked like on a franklin half dollar if they had used a portrait of him in his early days of life for the subject on the Franklin half dollar...Big smile, jolly cheeks, fancy hat and a fancy bow-tie...

    Sir,

    That is absolutely amazing. I have not been here long enough to know who you are, but I know the craft of an expert when I see it, and you have it!

    That's a beautiful piece, and while in general I detest the destruction of coins, I can certainly accept your pieces as works of art. Bravo!

    Absolutely terrific! Would it be possible to post a photo thread for your next project? Kind of a work in progress thing like they do in the hot rod mag's when doing a restoration. I (and I believe many others )would find it fascinating to follow along as you craft another work of art. Please consider it
    Thanks

    I have got to get me one of those. I may have to bump up a Billzach hobo on my coin want list.
    Great work. :thumb: :bow:
