Getting better at nickels

Thanks to the boost from Billzach I'm getting better at hobo nickels.

Just sold #10 direct to the guy who's been buying all of mine. Actually I made him a little package deal with it and #3, which had the misfortune to get listed right between two excellent nickels and wound up not selling. Gave him the info on the person who got #1 as well so he'll be able to have the whole set of 1 - 10.

Still working on getting things really smooth like Billzach does, but at least the gouges are a little less obvious.

I'm not only having fun, getting some good practice, I'm actually getting paid to do so. Not enough yet but each nickel I'm doing a little better a little faster and in 10 nickels I've got enough to pay for a RingGenie Plus and a regulator so I can run my Lindsay Classic off of my compressor as well as from CO2. Not bad for a nominal 50 cents!
:banana:

Looks great!

I am jealous of the smooth background.

I 'liberated' the "Liberty" right off my last nickel - you got the transition just right!

I've de-Libertied more than one myself.

If want to see a really smooth field just do a search for any post by Billzach about nickels. I've seen less perfect coins in rolls of new ones.

Steve looking good and congra on the sells...

Finished another one today, and on this one I deliberately took of the 'Liberty'. It was a coin where the letters were pretty worn though, since I knew I was going to remove them.
