My first attempt at a hobo nickel. Picture is a little fuzzy. I did this at work, so I didn't have access to my engraving tools, just 1 flat and 1 square, and I had to do it H&C and push, which was a new experience. I also used some of my stone setting burrs to help out. If you can't tell, I have no idea what I'm doing...

Dave,
Good start...
Imagine what you could do to the next nickel, at your work bench with all your engraving tools....
Thanks for sharing,
Stephen
