Hi in this week i have found in the market of the used coins here in Barcelona a 5 cents buffalo coins (in very bad condictions i know that have no year) and I have decided to try to engrave it,is my first attemp in coin engravings.
Critiques and advises are welcome

Very good. I liked your graver stand as well.

I did a "skull and cross bones" on a lighter awhile back and discovered a neat piece of trivia in that they orginiated in Spanish Cemeteries.

Thanks for sharing,

John
