Greetings all,

It's been a while since I've posted here. I've been quite ill and can't do much of anything though I occasionally still sell work on eBay as I'm able. I no longer take custom work.

Recently a gentleman inquired about having the Lords prayer engraved on a half dollar. I'm posting here incase anyone is interested in the job.

I will ask for some more contact information from him so communication can take place.

Hope you're all well... I still lurk around here and enjoy seeing the work you're all doing.

Sincerely,
Andy G.

Andy, like others have said I am sorry to hear you are not well. I also want to say that while we don't know one another your posts have been valuable to me and several are book marked reference....not only to admire your art but when you have asked for help and you were able to ask questions that are well thought out and they are thorough and by thread's end it has become another bookmarkworthy reference that benefits everyone. All the best and I look forward to seeing more.

Hi Andy. I was contacted by someone wanted the Lord's prayer engraved on a half dollar as well. Not sure it was a bust half, but it may have been. I quoted him $3 per letter and he seemed shocked at the price. I'm too slow to make any profit engraving it for less, but perhaps someone can.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! / ~Sam

Andy, I was happy to see that you had posted again, until I saw that you have been ill. I hope along with the others here that "this too will pass." Get well soon.

By the way... I did get the gentlemans email address in case anyone is interested in the job.

Poor guy... I don't think he understands that that much lettering would be so costly... As Sam said, even at $3 a letter, which is reasonable for hand engraving, comes out to alota dough.
