"hobo" on a 2005 nickel

We all have goals and the subject on this nickel wants to be featured on a hobo postcard, Do you remember the old hobo postcards of yesterday when they were popular? Hobo postcards today are very collectible, so i thought it fitting to carve a subject for one, this was a original billzach design, i did not copy it..

You've certainly improved Jefferson's appearance.

 

Nice work! How long did it take?

 

This one took about 3 hours to carve, but sometimes it takes as many as 30 hours to carve a very detailed coin.

 

I Agree with that!

Another nice one there Bil l:thumb:

 

That's awesome. How long did it take to carve the coin in your avatar?

 

another lovely coin billzach, i wish i had your patience and your steady hand.. most of all i wish i had your talent.. keep it up =)

 

The intricate detail is what makes that coin so great!

 

That looks awesome Bill! Do you sell any of your creations?

 

yes he does.. just check Ebay =)

 

It took about 4 hours to carve the coin in my avatar.

 

you rock!!!! I love the originality of your works, now if only we had engravers like you at the mint (sighs wistfully)

 

I,ve wanted to create a design for the mint, but i,m just a old ky hillbilly with not a lot of education, the mint wants people with degrees

 

pppphhhhhtttt, what the he!! do they know, they made great state quarter designs into crap

 

Man, did you ever think of signing these, and trying to sell them, as signature works of art? These are fantastic.
