Magnificient work, there Barry.
What is coining?

When looking at the patch box, I noticed the light made a golden color in the rays. My thought was how would you make the "inset" rays gold. So, I have this question.

After it is all done, what would happen if you gold leafed the rays, and after burnishing everything down tight, you "basically sanded the tops of the rays" and had both there.

I know that that can actually be done (gold leafing) - the real question is would it actually work, or would the gold leaf be too fragile to stay in the cuts?

(We are ignoring the fact that if you wanted gold you would have inlaid a gold sun).
