<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1897082, member: 58941"]I will photograph an example. I spoke to a DT dept at a school I have a contract with, they agreed to photograph a coin of mine and do a test 'burn' on some wood...it would be a great present idea for someone with a favourite coin they own, photograph it and burn the enlarged image onto a coaster or small wooden plaque. The burn works on the degrees of shading, so a good side lit photo would work well. i saw a burn they did on some clear perspex of a photograph of Sherborne Abbey...it was unbelievably good. A guy they know has made his own laser cutter/etcher with same software and guts, but more powerful lasers for cutting metal. Once cut and buffed down, I bet most would be fooled. dies could be made easilt too and then used to strike blank worn sestertius ........ I think the hobby could be in turmoil in a few years, but I hope we can find ways to keep our authentic coins apart from the fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
