Here's a link to the United States Mint's press image library...if you scroll down the page and look for the artists names (mine is Joseph Menna) you can see some of the coin stuff I've done, particularly the Presidents and First Spouse coins(the 1st spouse stuff is at the bottom of the page...I did the Andrew Jackson first spouse obverse too but it's not listed correctly).....

WOW! I've always wondered about monetary art and who still made such bas-reliefs. Awesome! Post pics to get more feedback :)

Wow, yeah you should blatantly post some [img]s :)

How do you go about making them? Do you sculpt them big or is it all digital these days?

I was wondering the same thing as DuneFishUK, do tell.

all digitally sculpted and cnc milled....the Mint is actually looking for more digitally skilled sculptors...here's the link...

Thats just fantastic.
Sad the "the industry" is moving away from clay - but great results.
Thanks for sharing - another day where something new entered my brain.
