upstate, Very nice! Both Amy and I knew the painting you used for the idea as soon as we saw it. That's the first President I've seen dressed that way, but I'm sure it's happened before.

I think Hoover did it. Naw that was Hoover with the FBI. J Edgar not Herbert. OK nevermind but all the nickels are cool.

LOL upstate! But I think this might have fit better on a Kennedy half?  How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash? Download and read: Grading the graders Costly TPG ineptitude and No FG Kennedy halveshttps://ln5.sync.com/dl/7ca91bdd0/w...i3b-rbj9fir2 |

When I hear hobo nickel, I always think of hobo's and trains. No real story to share, other than I can remember seeing them on occasion walking along the rail road tracks when I was a little kid.  |

I've been reading Wheezydogs post "Knocked down but not out" and just thought he deserved his own Nickel for the great job he's done getting healthy. An inspiration to all of us. Hope you don't mind Wheezy.  |

lion4life -- nice! Yeah, when I think of hobo nickels I expect a guy with a bag on the end of a stick!
Blueszone -- great tribute. I appreciate that you made him a proof coin! What is the significance of 284?

284 was the weight he was at when the picture was taken. I believe he has lost over 30lb so far. I'm starting myself in Aug. I need to get healtheir.
