Picked this guy up today.... Nice original Hobo nickel. It will prob be going to the for sale section.. But I thought you guys might like to see it.

Nice one!
Who is the engraver??

Cool coin. Always wondered how do you tell the old ones from the new ones if they are'nt attributable to a well known artist.....

A hobo...

most of these are not able to be traced to a certian artist... a lot of these guys would make these to sell for more then a nickel. It was a pretty smart idea...

a pretty easy way to tell if they are original or not....is to look inside the marks with a loupe.... it's like any other coin... dirt and gunk gets in there over time and you can see it with a loupe

I love Hono Nickels. They are true works of art.
