Message:: [QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2617587, member: 4781"]I did apply one time when the US Mint was hiring a sculptor/engraver. They were specifically looking for someone with experience in digital sculpting. At the time of that application I had already written my own digital sculpting software which I was using to design/sculpt/engrave my own dies. Also at that time I had already refurbished my Denver Mint surplus coin press and was using it to produce items. I noted all that on my application, of course. But I never received a reply from them. But even if I had, I doubt that I would have wanted to move to Philadelphia. Had the opening been at the Denver Mint, I would have been more inclined to accept an offer (had there been one). I have, since then, submitted a couple designs to the US Mint (such as the Baseball coin). None were chosen, however. I will continue to submit designs as any opportunity arises. PS:I didn't actually design the "fish" Michigan quarter. I sculpted and engraved it from a sketch that the movie art director provided. Here is the Michigan design that I actually submitted to the state-run design contest some years ago:<img src="http://designscomputed.com/coins/mi12_ms.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
