    I agree, but he wasted his talent on this coin.

    Ron is obviously making a political statement as to the state of our country. I think he accomplished this goal magnificently.

    I like the "In Gov We Trust", "We Owe Trillions"

    Otherwise, I'm skulled Liberty, emaciated animal overdosed for silver rounds. Plenty out there.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Are you saying Ron did the "Zombie" pieces? By Zombie pieces, I'm assuming IrishMikey is referring to Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse®.

    The Zombucks don't seem to be done using Ron's style, given Ron's use of hand engraved lettering.

    No, just seemed RL was a pretty easy search.

    Maybe providentmetals should publish the zombucks artist name on their website..

  • ZoinsZoins Posts: 34,401 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It would be nice if Provident published the designer / engraver names and I've done some searches but haven't come across any info yet.

    I'm not sure, but I think the "Zombucks" sculptor was Heidi Wastweet.

    Good guess! According to Heidi's website, she did the Zombucks Walker and also the Provident Metals Hercules series. She lists each of the Hercules pieces but only lists the Zombucks Walker, so I wonder if that's the only Zombuck she did or if she did others as well. She's certainly created a number of other popular skeleton rounds including Debt+Death, Slave Queen, etc.

    We need a "Muera Huerta" equivalent!
