Must be hard carving modern nickels since they are in such low relief. It doesn't give modern artists much material to work with.
Interesting item Bill. I agree it looks like a copy from a coin.
I was just kidding Doug, that was why there was a smiley face :). It was actually a compliment to your articles.

Cannot complain for the price on this popular issue. I cannot say Doug Smith has helped the price remain low, with his interesting writeup on the...
