Hoping to get something sharp (3)

I believe the answer is:

'something sharp' is the definition.

'hoping to get' is the wordplay.
'to get' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'gets' mean this).
'PIN' is hidden in the letters of 'hoping'.

(Other definitions for pin that I've seen before include "Fasten; a security code" , "Secure" , "form of identification" , "Debit-card number" , "Fixing device" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
