HOBO NICKELS...last few carvings I have done.

DeChristo · Apr 7, 2016

My 3 latest offerings...WARNING, WILL ROBINSON, THE SAMURAI, and A BOY NAMED SOUS (The Chef). The photos may be out of order, but I am sure you all can figure out who is who...thanks for looking, Chris

Edited: I added a couple more shots of the Samurai...the main subject is deeply undercut...the right leg from the bottom of the pants to the tip of his toe is nickel overlay, cut from another buffalo nickel, and the horns on the helmet and the very top of his head are free standing, cut a full 360 degrees in an attempt to add a 3D effect...this little man casts a shadow.

Thank you Van Angle! Is there a reason you added the email address? Just curious...

Thanks for the kind words...

Thank you, Sam Alfano...coming from you these words of encouragement are worth at least a couple thousand FaceBook likes

not only do i like these very much, i fear you have once again, raised the bar a couple of notches higher. the guy with the pot on his head is truly fantastic. thanks for showing.

I absolutely love each one of these coins. As previously noted, they are Masterworks and I hope the collectors truly appreciate their quality.

Great work as always.

I'm with you Monk. they are all great but that one with the guy with the pot on his head, while having the least detail, appeals to me the most.
Super work!!
Cheers
Don
