    People ask many times about the subjects i carve, most are subjects that pop up in my mind..I was thinking about how the old hobo lived and this subject came to mind..HE,s a old hobo who has missed a few meals, hasn,t shaved in a while, nice old hat and cloths and has fell on hardtimes..On a quarter a coin carver has to use what raised metal the coin offers him to carve..

    You obviously have more talent that the folks at the Mint. You should apply and maybe we'd get more interesting looking coins that the cartoon first spouse series.

    You do one $%#$% of a job craving those. Just out of curiosity, what do you do with them?

    This is what he does with them, it seems!

    Worth the price, if you ask me. Wish I had the money to spend on something like that.
