Good luck Chris. If you do get it, I will be so jealous. I wish I had the skill to do something like that.

By the way, you were already a monster. I did not make you any worse than you were. I just opened the door a little and OUT YOU CAME!

If I was a multimillionaire that coin is something id pay 5k for.

He has a lot of nice nice work. But that specific one speaks to me.

He has his phone number listed on one of his links...... plus his email. From what I can see both of the above peices are "sale pending".

YEP...... this is how he makes his living. Gonna be some nice ticket prices on them, but WOW .... are they worth it! This kid (young man) has amazing talent. I wish I was one of his close friends so I could get a piece of his work. He sure has been blessed with lots of talent.

Does that mean you are just a millionaire? If so, please adopt me. I don't eat much.
You can afford to pay 5K for it just being a millionaire. Lots left over.

But still consider adopting me, OK?

Well just cause you COULD spend 5k on a coin doesn't mean you should lol. But then again if I can get a coin for 5000 that I KNOW I can resell for 5500 or more with ease, darn right ill buy it hehe.

Hello all. This is my first attempt at a hobo nickel. I saw this thread and got inspired, so I dug out my Dremel tool and the nearest unfortunate nickel. It's not finished. I need to go to the hardware store and get some more attachments, but this is a sort of 'rough draft' of the "Nuclear Nickel". I wish I had a spare 1945 nickel lying around for this... Anyways, I tried to keep the wording intact (I thought it added an element of irony to it). I also tried to keep the 'cap' of the cloud as smooth and shiny as possible to give it a sort of glowing appearance. Input please?
