Branching out to pre 1982 cents I see. I imagine they are a lot easier to carve, but a bit smaller so could be difficult.
Looking at your collection, I have to say they mostly look the same, so not that interesting to me, but to each their own.

 

Cool, what tools did you use?

 

For these I was on the road and I used a "shaun hughes engraving machine". There is a video on youtube if you search for it.
