Default Hobo Mummy



Along with the other Chiller Diller movies (Frankenstein, Dracula, wolf man, there is the mummy)
So here is the Mummy coin just finished.
The skin texture was hard to get but after much trial and error I used some of my new punches and I like the results hope you do too.

these are the best coins i have at the moment. i am really new to all the hobo thing and dont know what to look for in a coin.

to my understanding just a good "date" and a "Full horn"
i may have to go down to the coin shop and get some better ones. but i still have like 10 of these same quality nickels left .

Finn What more can I say you do a nice job.

The problem with doing nothing is knowing when you are done.

Thank you for the nice comments.

Any of you have an idea for the next coin?

Or a new line of coins with a theme ?

Thanks so far for your input.
