Welcome!

Not sure if there's somewhere to buy jigs for scrolling but from having done hand engraving I can tell you how I'd make some.
Use 2 layers of 1/8" (maybe even try 1/16").  Cut a circle just a little smaller than the coin in one layer, a circle the size of the coin in the other layer, glue the two layers up and then split the stack across the center.  Put your coin in and use a couple of small clamps to hold it shut.  You could go so far as to put ears on the corners so you can use a pair of bolts to clamp it shut.  Just a thought.

Hmmm...  I wonder if Steve has ever posted a jig.  This is the page where you can search *all* of the patterns.  It takes forever to load but once it does it's fun:

Enjoy!
