She did her own sculpting?

[jonathanb-migration]

Nope, looks like the sculpting was done by Sherl J. Winter, Sculptor Engraver, United States Mint.

 

OK, so why *didn't* a sculptor get o sculpt her own design?

Miley Frost said with a smile. Ms. Frost told the MCCC about her adventures in creating the reverse side of the US golden Eagle bullion coin.

[just-john]

Miley Frosts She described herself as a sculptor, not a medallic artist. About one year before the idea of a gold coin design had occurred to her she was with her family in Wyoming, doing research on the American bald eagle. She observed a nest of eagles on a rocky cliff above the Platt River --- babies who were brought fish and other food by their parents. Miley went back home to Dallas Texas and crafted a sculpture based on this theme.
