Many dealers have splendid coin related artwork hanging at their shops or offices
I know Witter in Ca has and Ian at GC as well. We love the art and I have a special piece being delivered at FUN

I don’t have all these made into hangable art yet, but I plan on doing so similar to the Buffalo Gold one. I make these myself just for fun
Mr_Spud
As an artist myself, I thank you for sharing your pieces. They are incredible! I would love to know the process of producing them

I recall that one as it was used on the cover of Kagin's 1983 ANA auction catalog:

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
REALLY cool! Where did you get them?
Do virtual wall hanging pictures count? I made these just for fun out of coin images from coins in my collection. The coins are real and the Christmas tree coin holder is real but everything else is virtual
Mr_Spud
Just beautiful Spud! Really love the Christmas tree.
He is a member here, posts under the handle LCS; last year at X-mas he was offering a fantastic special on his work. Turned out that he also had a few really nice Lincolns and I added a few of those coins to my collection at that time.

Second of three replies:
As you can (and should) read in the below letter, this is a Limited Edition print on canvas of an original painting called "The Collector" made by Norman Rockwell in 1971 exclusively for the (now defunct) Franklin Mint Collectors Society. They owned the original in their offices, and in theory, no more prints will be made. This was given for free to its members in the early 1970's. I saw this on a similar post on this forum a year or two ago, and found one for sale with the letter on eBay for roughly $25. The Canvas Print is about 18' x 11". I see some now still offered on eBay.

Third reply:
These have never been hung by me, but would make for great art: These two pieces are Intaglio prints on Silk made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP).
I bought these in 1994 and 1997 directly from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). They are Intaglio prints on Silk, and measure 11.75" square, excluding the heavy cream matting. I know they were made in a very limited quantity, but I cannot find the exact number.
Details of each can be read from the accompanying cards.
I recall paying the BEP about $100 each back then. I tried to research to determine a fair current value, but came up empty. If anyone can provide me additional useful information on either or both, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm selling these, and asking $175 each, including USPS Priority Mail, Signature Required. If you can show me reliable pricing that is less than this, I will then lower my price. Any "distractions" you see in the photos are just reflections of my shadow and ceiling lights. The silk is in the exact same problem-free condition as the day i received them from the BEP!
I would appreciate any help and guidance.
I will only sell and ship to a person in the U.S. with a U.S. mailing address. I will email you the tracking number. We will provide each other with a valid email address.

I should have bought the nickel picture last year! Still like it!
The Norman Rockwell collector is a great one. Tried up at their museum to get a numbered edition but no luck. The Andy Warhol Indian is another great set of you like buffalos Stop bye my table at Fun and I’ll show you the special new piece. Or I’ll post upon return!
Happy holidays
The Rockwell painting seems as Rockwell painted himself as the collector. There is a study for the painting without the dude in the suit.
It appears to be for sale:

GREAT research! I changed the dates in my above post to reflect your more accurate information.
Thanks.
