Don't quit your day job just yet. OK?

That is one ugly alien, but the space ship looks good! Is there a way you can polish it up? I saw them do it but do not know what tool it was to do it.

Good job on your first attempt!

Wow Jay! I love my hobo nickels! But I can not spend $20 on one. I will watch your sales and maybe try to steal one for a lot less. That is the best I can do.

Just love your work!

Darn you Cajun! You created a monster. I just offered some dude 200 for a hobo nickel lol. However I doubt he will sell it. It'll prob go for like 1500. maybe even way higher.

My only hope is to show him how awesome I think his work is and buy it at a mercy to the poor guy discount.

Chris......... I have seen this coin before on youtube. Are you serious? Is this the one you are offering $200 for? It is absolutely gorgeous. The detail is unreal. If I had the money, I would grab it. I am serious. This type of works goes for much more money!

It will always hold its value. It is a work of art. I could look at it for hours!

good luck getting it....... let me know what happens.

I could maybe pop 250 or 300 on it, but I don't really have much more to spend on a hobo nickel. Its worth more for sure though.

The artist is very hard to get a hold of lol.

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?
