While correcting my first typographic error in ~80-100 engraved objects (allegedly!), in which I was supposed to engrave “MSG” as in “Master SarrrrGENT!” but instead engraved “MGS” as in “Metal Gear Shit-I-Messed-Up-Because-Of-Video-Games,” I developed a technique for flattening out the previously-engraved area with a filled rectangle, and then engraving the correct letters slightly deeper.
This winds up looking more professional than just the letters, on the metal of this particular coin.
However, because I’d engraved so deeply the first time around, I’ve had to remove a significant amount of metal, resulting in a lot of dust gathering around the edge, which I proceeded to casually wipe off and into the grooves of the rest of the coin.
Which I attempted to dislodge, as is standard operation poppycock, with my breath.
tl;dr (SORRY): What do I do if I have inhaled gold? Revel in my increased net worth? Worry?
