    Nice work. But I'm tired of seeing the skulls everywhere. Everybody does 'em. Use your skills on a fresher, more original idea.

    Thanks! I like carving skulls because a lot of other hobo nickel carvers do them and there are some things I want to improve!
    I do classic hobo nickels also! One design I want to do is based on an R.Crumb cartoon but I want to add a Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse(modified very heavily so I don't get sued lol!).
    I am doing a skull coin now with an Isle of Man Egyptian themed coin. I bought it really cheaply directly from the mint at a coin show but apparently its a $50 coin.

    I thought about what you said! I WAS going to carve a skull into a 1982 Un Peso but I remembered your comment and mid-carve I did a flying pig!!
