Latest Hobo Nickel- now in PG13

[JamesO]

First Post for me. And I take it January is post your New Hobos Month, so I will join in!
I call it GOLD MEMBER. Taken from the drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man : The Symmetry of Man, I just thought I would add some humor to it. Trust me there is a detailed 24kt gold inlay, very very small but it's there!
Just a little background of myself- James Olivencia from Lorain, Ohio. 35 yrs young. I started in gun and knife engraving in 2001, and coin carving in 2005. I believe I have only carved 38 coins so far. But I feel the NEED and DESIRE to learn from and interact with the wonderful people and engravers on this forum- and quit being just a Lurker!
Thanks for looking and if I get the OK I'll post the unedited picture>

Gee Whizz Jim... I think by covering up the man parts with black marker makes it look even more PG-13. I think we can all handle seeing the "gold member".... I for one promise not to giggle.

Nickel envy???

It's a nice quality carving, that's for sure.

Please do me a favor folks...keep the discussion G-rated, ok? Don't make any comments you wouldn't want your mother or your kids to read. The focus should be on the quality of the engraving.
