    I'm not normally into that sort of thing but I have to admit it's very cool!

    Any more info on it?

    You know,when I first read your thread,I thought you were talking about the "skeleton finger" cent(2009 Formative Years) variety! That's cool,you got my attention.Maybe one of those will be discovered in the 2009 cent series?imageimageimage

    There are a lot of these starting to crop up on the market. Modern carvers have discovered they're popular, so they're quite the rage right now with the hobo nickel set, from what I've seen.

    This is the first I've seen done on a cent, though, and it's a better job than most.

    Edit to add- I wouldn't touch that thing with a thirty-foot pole, for superstitious reasons.

    My Dad was born in '38 and is still very much alive and mostly healthy, thank goodness.

    The Skeletor Morgan is very nicely done.

    All of those last five, really. There are some talented craftsmen (and -women) out there.
