    I watched the process and the skull is cut out of the nickel then soldered to a ring. The one we have all been looking at runs for $280.

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    I've got some 1oz copper replicas kicking around here somewhere - I keep meaning to to do something with them & experiment with antiquing. You'll be first on my list if you're interested.

    Seems like a Hobo Nickel should have a Hobo spider on it!

    I'd go $280 if there was an Indian head on one side and a buffalo on the other.
