Full Version: hobo nickels
i,ve just joined this forum, are any of you hobo nickel collectors? i included a picture of a 1913 rail road cop hobo nickel...
Welcome aboard!
No I don't collect them, but if they all have that quality I may be tempted. What does something like that 1913 cost?

Nice hobo, Bill. I am not a collector of them but I think they are pretty cool. I have seen your designs here and there on the net and they are quite impressive! Now long does it take to do something like that?

Sure thing, let's see some Morgans.
Please, I would like to see these.
Hello Bill and welcome to CoinPeople. I think that many of the folks here would love to see samples of your work. Thanks for sharing.
picture of a 1879 recarved morgan dollar based on the 1879 schoolgirl pattern dollar...i carve about 5 morgan dollars a year based on pattern dollars for collectors..they take about 20 hours to carve, each is signed and numbered...
WOW!
You do some awesome works of art.

one of the hardest thing to carve on this coin was getting the 13 beads in the necklace as on original schoolgirl in the alloted space that i had to work with...
Impressive, you do nice work.
Nice!! Very Nice!
Very nice, I have never heard of these until now!
I would love to learn to do that. . .
