New coin carving of old hobo

Billzach · May 18, 2008

Everything seemed slow tonight, so i thought i would post my latest franklin half and jefferson nickel carvings...The franklin half subject is a old hobo with a wad of tobacco in his mouth....The second carving is a recarved 1945 war nickel recarved in deep relief with the subject being a old hobo with a long beard...

Those carvings are great, I really like the schnoz on the hobo. also did you do something to the E on the hobo coin it looks a little like a small padlock, but then my eyes are a little blurry due to banjo engraving all day,

You got good eyes, i,m not sure what coin collectors call it, but the the letter -E- is filled..It,s a mint error..
