Ok, so I may have to throw in the towel on this quarter. I tried top maintain the birds that were just to the top right of the boat, but they are so small that they just look like little pieces of scrap and I lost one. Then there's the lighthouse rays of light, as you can see, one of them broke off from being so thin. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, the quarter snapped just to the right of the the water line near the boat.......<<sigh>>

UPDATE: I decided to cut away the rays of light and the birds on this one. I still say it was the hardest so far

here are the labels, the color is a navy blue and the seal will go on the upper barrel and the solid blue will go on the lower barrel with the quarter in the middle. these pics didnt capture the true colors, but it gives you an idea of the detail on the seal.

Hi Seamus...sorry the light house did not work out to full advantage. However, being from the land of the light houses I think the rays from the light house are very important...perhaps on the next ones :-).
 
Seamus,
I think the quarter looks much better with the "light" rays than with them gone, even if you can't save all of them. But hey, who else knows your dediction to excellence better than I.:biggrin: This one and the Kentucky one and the Hawaii one and...heck, they are all great!
Do a good turn daily!

Seamus, the rays look great. I actually like them a little better with a wider beam than the little strips we were first thinking. Good luck on the rest of it!
 
DONE!!!!! Wow, talk about the pucker factor! This coin just doubled in value LOL. I'm not sure I want to do any more of these besides the two ordered.

Sweet that means I only owe you $.50! Awesome!!! Seriously, those look fantastic! I hope you are kidding about not wanting to do more as I have a feeling once the customer gets this in her hands I will be having a few more orders!
