  I had a fleeting moment of terror when I saw that @FredWeinberg had posted - I thought he was going to tell us that the host coin had some valuable error on it.

  I like the carving, but it would be better without the wire brushed reverse.

  You have to understand theses are not coin collectors, they are carvers.

  That would be Franklin on a 1963-D half, and he wasn't in the Bull Moose party either.

  I also assume he wanted the reverse to match the color/patina of the obverse....
  Once it is turned into a work of art I don't think the normal rules of coin handling apply...
