You can practice on a clad quarter, the metal is harder though and takes more time.

It's all good trickworm, lol.

You should give it a try.. Nothing to lose if you practice on some newer coins..

Wow...
That is very cool...
Could make some nice money...
How long it take you to do one??

This quarter was made by the OP of this thread, we both are learning how to make these hobo coins.. Some take minutes, some take hours.. just depends on the detail and tools you have to work with..
