Expert Tooling in Fields!

Recommended Posts

Whilst the tooling in this particular instance is intentional and not meant to deceive, I thought some close-up images of the fields on John's Victorian Penny was worth posting here, if only so that benefit could be gained from the realisation that the missing Trident Staff, Shield (where the carver in this instance has created a NEW, amazingly level, field), and Bun, could equally be a missing dot, colon, serif, absolutely anything, actually!

Best I can do, as I didn't end up taking full images of the coin. :(

Great skill, though!
