<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brassnautilus, post: 2328903, member: 74300&quot;]Doug has a thread about mass production of an artist&#039;s rendition and how the artist should be credited. It&#039;s even more complicated in coins. People that cut the dies were specialists, maybe sometimes they were portrait artists but I&#039;m sure for the most part they were just responsible for the actual cutting of dies. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is such a specialist an artist? Further down the line, there were also mint workers, who actually &quot;produced&quot; the items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coming from a profession that does manipulation of material in miniature with the aid of instruments, I feel it&#039;s more of a craft, not an art. Majority of the people around me are engineers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
