Here's a little bit of hobo nickel fun I've had recently. The first coin I've just completed as a private commission, the second sold on Ebay a few days ago. They are probably not optical illusions in the strictest sense but viewed upside down they become something else.

Marcus- VERY cool

Leonardo- try looking at the first coin with the small pictures. I couldn't get it blown up for some reason, but as soon as I went back to the post with the pictures thumbnail size I figured it out right away.

My 9 year old nickel carving son loved the characters you had on ebay last week. Great nickels.

Your welcome Leonardo! :) Like I said, I didn't get it in the blown up pictures-took me a while.
