<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 195351, member: 1824&quot;]It is not only a gold coin,but a display of how intricate &amp; difficult the engraving is to do.Hand engraving of a coin die has died out.Thomas Shingles,a former Chief Engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint &amp; coin designer,was one of the last people who were able to engrave &amp; cut dies entirely by hand.A modern-day engraver would not be able to do this,as the skills have not been passed down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
