You are too good a coin carver to be using poor grade nickels, it,s good to start with poor grade nickels, but your work needs to be carved on a high grade nickels...You can catch xf or au buffalo nickels on ebay for $3 to $5, it,s possible for a coin carving to bring double if it,s carved on a xf or au rather than a poor grade..Keep up the good work...
