Bill:
really neat!
I only wish that I could do that!

 

How much would one like that go for?

 

That's a great carving, as all the other examples of your work I've seen posted in the forum

 

Good job Bill!!! A+++

Speedy

 

how do you carve coins?

 

I use the same tools as gun and knife engravers use, hand gravers, microscope, engraving vise, etc...King George III took about 10 hours to carve...

 

Another fine example Bill, as all the others have been. The Lincoln pennybo you posted previously was great too.

 

Bill thats a great looking portrait LOL I am not sure about his reaction to been placed next to the word Liberty though :thumb:
