    Well, if no one else will say it, I will. SHAME ON YOU for defacing a perfectly good 1956 wheat ear cent. That coin was worth 2 or 3 times face value until you messed with it. Now it is worthless.

    Just kidding.

    I have a few questions: first, the fields look smooth and even. Did you have to work on the fields as well (right up to the lettering)? Also, how do you re-tone the coins? The color looks good, so I assume you use some chemical to do this.

    Lastly, how much did this customer pay to get this work done (I am curious just for reference)? The original hobo nickels were traded for a meal or something, so in the spirit of the tradition, I’ll buy you lunch if you give me a hobo dollar.
