If anyone has any questions about coin carving or what tools I use let me know, I,m always ready to help out..I,ll try and get my latest coin carving posted Monday.

Posted: **Sun Feb 20, 2011 6:21 pm**

Did you carve that coin? It's awsome.

Could you post a bigger picture? What Coin is it?

Posted: **Sun Feb 20, 2011 6:46 pm**

Spill the beans Bill.....we are all eager to know anything you can tell us. Gravers, vice, hours labor, tech, ect.

Looking forward to the picture come monday.

I do most of my coin carving with hand push gravers, I use a Nikon microscope and a grs engraving vise..I,ve been carving coins about 15 years.I took a engraving class in Kansas about 7 years ago which greatly improved my coin carving skills...

Yes you can, I have seen some nice coin carvings done with a dremel. it,ll take some practice to get it looking good.
