	Arnold Machin (obit) - sculptor, coin and stamp designer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		ARNOLD MACHIN, {centre} the sculptor who has died aged 87, designed the portrait of the Queen which has appeared on postage stamps since 1967 and has become probably the most reproduced portrait of all time; he also designed the image of the Queen's head for the first decimal coins.
		Though Machin entered art school at a time when sculptors were experimenting with streamlined forms in the style of Henry Moore, or attempting, like Reg Butler, to combine passion with outright modernism, he opted for the classical approach, both as to technique and the use of materials.
		Arnold Machin was born on September 30 1911 at Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

		Arnold Machin was born in September 1911 and he came under an artistic influence very early on with his father being a freelance modeller working on small models similar to the crested chinaware sold as holiday souvenirs.
		Machin was a conscientious objector in World War II, and during 1943 served a spell in prison for his beliefs.
		Arnold Machin died on March 9, 1999 –; ironically on the day that the new Machin head high value set of four was released by Royal Mail – but his work still lives on.
