Jim, my son has now gone to the ANA back in Florida now 2 years in a row and taken classes on how to make the Hobo's. A whole different area in coin collecting and the coin hobby. I have seen some of the Hobo's that one of his friends makes out of Italy I believe. This guy adds either bits of copper or gold for enhancements. His work is just amazing.

Thank you for the kind words,
Dennis
