Hands are useless without a brain to control them. People without the use of their hands can still be creative. People without the use of their...
The reality is, talent resides in the brain, not the hands (which are controlled by the brain). I produce things the same way most modern mints...
You continue to prove my point. Everybody uses tools of some sort. Some more sophisticated than others. News Flash: Not even the original 1913...

I took me a little while longer than expected, but I was able to produce several items over the last few days. I just now updated the minting...

I did apply one time when the US Mint was hiring a sculptor/engraver. They were specifically looking for someone with experience in digital...
I made the prop coins for the movie. The Art Coordinator contacted me about a year ago, asking if I could make them from a sketch they supplied....
I did not strike any sort of NY or RI quarters. But I did make strikes of some other quarter designs that I submitted to ME, NV, and CO:...
