Incredible I love how you improvise with the chucks This inspires me to use the things I already have to get started Thank you
Comment from : @nopriors

Well anyway, I checked and it apparently is okay as long as not fraudulent My vise is a very old production lathe 2 jaw self centering chuck with the 90 degree fins cut off, weighs around 70 pounds Works well for engraving processes

Is the mutillating of coins no longer a violation of federal law?
Comment from : @galewollenberg786

Wonderful Thank you for sharing your incredible talent and knowledge!
Comment from : @jesseharrington431

Love the talent of doing the engraving of "hibonickels" but how, if they ever did, hobos create such marvelous art pieces during the Great Depression with such modern tools?
Comment from : @LilRebelYell

Comment from : @nismobaron

Okay, I came for beginners insctructions on coin carving, and this guy has $2000 in tools and a workshopbrbrI dont think hobos had the same means? Anyway, I continue on my quest for knowledge!

I would love to learn how to carve coins ever since I first saw an example of a hobo nickel in a copy of Coin World years agoit would probably take a long time before I could even approach your ability and natural skill, but it would be fun trying Thank you so much for the informative video

Amazing work! I laughed at one point as there were lots of tiny shavings and I instinctively tried to blow them away for you! Felt like I was there with you Thanks for sharing your work
Comment from : @markanderson8066

I wouldn't be surprised if The Numistmatists put a contract out on you for defacing their holy relics! Be careful!

Comment from : @Nigriff

Over the decades of working on silver coins you must have a few pounds of silver for yourself You basically collect silver chips for making custom items Getting paid twice
Comment from : @richardhatt6541

Would love to see the finished product
Comment from : @Chiaroscuro1991

they dont consider as defacing money? Im just asking i think it awesome
Comment from : @Raymcm74

That's destruction of Us mint coins! Do you know you could get in some big trouble It don't matter that they are 90 silver and are worth more than face value Look at the copper penny it's worth 3 cents in weight value and you can be imprisoned for melting them down What you are doing is not much different You should use 999 silver bullion rounds or bars That won't get you behind a high fence and guys that going to call you fish
Comment from : @jeremyobanion8994

Steve What is the bearing surface between the four jaw Chuck and the Three jaw chuck ???
Comment from : @freddooley1692

You will never step in the same water twice Like the carving of your coins, the sculpture of your life To be yourself is your best gift, it's nice to see you have mastered it

Comment from : @Michel-777

I don't get it Why are you defacing a coin ? Granted, I just stumbled onto this video, but, legally, you cannot sell that coin as an original
Comment from : @djkulp1

What is The bearing surface between the four jaw chuck and the three jaw cuck??
Comment from : @freddooley1692

Excellent video I am interested in seeing your finished work!
Comment from : @squadgeman3247

Guess I’m just not into defacing coins…
Comment from : @pricetag30

Those seem like some pretty hi dollar tools you need especially those giant metal holders for the coin I'd be interested to know how much money you have to invest before you can make your first hobo nickel
Comment from : @stephenshanebeaty

Comment from : @theillusivecharizard2013

Defaceing coins is illegal herebrbrPersonally I think its dumbbrbrBy the time you chip away the image you could have engraved that tiny bit you leave from the original

Comment from : @jeffreycadzow6770

When the time comes when you can’t do the work any more Look for apprentice to teach and pass on your knowledge Give classes to those who are ready Your knowledge must not die
