Micro engraved Lincoln penny by hand

In this video im engraving Lincoln penny from 1951. I find engraving this particular coin very challenging because of its size and softness of material. Coin itself is too small for me to transfer design therefore i must draw ornaments directly on coins surface.
I start with waxing the coin and drawing rough design with pencil, if im satisfied with looks, I scribe the lines with polished metal point.
Once I have all lines scribed i use Lindsay Carbalt 110 degree V point graver to cut out patter, I remove the background with same tool and for larger surfaces dental drill comes very hand to remove background fast.
Shading lines are also done with 110 degree V point.
I used black printmaking ink to fill engraved lines and background.

I'm in love with this kind of work. So unique and special.

[@markbearpellerin6346]

Completely mesmerizing!
I wouldn't even begin to know how and even if I did, I'd constantly gouge the coin, screwing up all my hard work!
Excellent work!

You should name the video "setting up to engrave a penny" only the last 3 minutes are engraving.

Nice work! Is it a small ball bur of 0.3 mm that you use to remove the background?

[@ReinisStripnieks]

It was 0.5,but i ground it to needle point and sharpened in shape like flat screw driver

[@glennsmooth]

Freakin awesome. How many hours did this take and how many spent on the Panerai case restoration? I work as a digital artist. Cant imagine not having an undo button
