Recarved 1893 columbian half dollar

Billzach · Jul 1, 2008

This is a recarved 1893 columbian half dollar I recarved for a coin collector with the subject being a young sailor of about 1893..I posted the original picture of coin and the finished sailor boy so you can see the before and after recarve..[ps] If some of you wants to recarve a 1893 columbian half into a young sailor subject like this one , go ahead, i,ve no objection, I didn,t use a picture or image of recarved subject, it just developed in my head as i carved, so the picture of the young sailor doesn,t have a copyright.

Beautiful carving Bill. I still can't work out how you get them so clean and sharp.

That looks like it just came from the mint.

Thanks for the look.

Beautiful work Bill! I don't know anything about coins so I looked up the Columbian half. Here is a link for anyone interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_Exposition_half_dollar
