Default Re: Engraving coining dies

Those are looking great Joe! I guess one of the points I was trying to bring to this board was that if you can do such nice coin carving, you could just as easily carve a steel hub (well okay... steel is a little harder to carve than brass... but not much) which could then be used to hob a die, and then your work would be reproducible instead of being a completely handmade piece. I've done thousands of one-off pieces and honestly I'm getting really tired of it. I like the idea of cottage scale production.
