[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2153144, member: 56859"]Congratulations, you got it! It's a tribute to the movie "The Shining". When/if I make more, I'll send you one. This prototype was made from metal clay, sintered in a kiln. It is pure silver. The "dies" were carved in hardened polymer clay. I wanted to put this image on the obverse: [IMG]http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02382/horror_2382351b.jpg[/IMG] ...but it was beyond my carving skills. I've been working on engraving metal dies and striking homemade flans (found a use for my granddad's old US junk silver :D) but there is a learning curve. Having a blast though![/QUOTE]
