I can answer that. Dimas carved this on a clad quarter, doing the whole foreground within the depth of the cladding and going cleanly below it for the background.

Thanks for the encouragement.
Work this echo in a quarter of a dollar
the dollar are laminates of copper and nickel, when nickel is eaten, below the copper.
Best regards.

Something I've been wondering Dimas - how thick is the clad layer? I know how to easily find out, but if I have an idea of the thickness before I start I can plan a little better.

Steve, the layers vary in thickness because the metals are sandwiched before the coin is struck, also there is a lot of variation betwen coins and even between 2 different halves of the coin, usually you can get an idea by looking at the rim where you can see the copper layer showing.remember that where the coin has more "mass" the layer will usually be thicker and vice versa
