Very nice work for sure...a recent pick up a cointoon by Frank Brazzell very famous carver and enlongated coin carver.
It's a lot!! I do carve them by hand! In January I am buying a microscope that films videos so I can post videos on youtube of me engraving them!
Those are very nice!! I have seen a lot of work by Frank Brazzell but nothing like this!! It might be done by a vintage carver. I will ask my friend thats a Brazzell expert. Really unique - and valuable carvings!
They are fun coins!! The Original Hobo Nickel Society has a Facebook page! There are a lot of carvers on that page you could get one from!
Handle bar mustaches are the best! For those its better that the carving is looking straight on! Its a carving I plan on doing! I have thought about it and I want to find a wanted poster or a mugshot of someone with a handle bat mustache and engrave that.
I will! I have more detailed coins I am working on for 2022! Right now I an working on sharpening smaller and sharper engraving tools.
I picked the lion for <$10.00 no kidding....I was so stoked I love it. It came from an estate sale and document
