Good looking design and coin.

May I ask what you are using to get the nice black patina on the game board? the contrast is very effective.

Nice!

I like your Uncle Sam coin that's currently up on eBay as well.

One of these days I'll have to take the ever-indulgent wife for a week in Vegas (while I take your class ;))

in the land of Scrolls,
Very nicely done as always, but a design question if I might. Why did you not keep the spacing from the 1937 and LIBERTY as your rook crenelations, rather than switching to the smaller one (thus more difficult to cut) that did'nt match size wise?

To answer your questions:
Candy, I used black printers ink.
KC Steve, I'm glad to see your coins doing well on ebay.
Coins make for GREAT practice plates.
Scott, Coin was designed by the collector.
Dave, I used two transfers. First transfer, I cut the border and Knight, did the relief and sculpting work. Then I tranfered in the background design to cut...
Take Care,
Stephen
