Description
HOBO NICKEL The hobo nickel is a sculpural art form, involving the creative modification of small-denomination coins, essentially resulting in miniature bas relief's. The buffalo nickel, because of its size, thickness, and relative softness, was a favored coin for this purpose. Due to its low cost and portability, this medium was particularly popular among hobos, hence the name. However, the term "hobo nickel" is generic, and carvings have been made from many different denominations. See: www.hobonickels.org for more info on Hobo Nickels. For your consideration: Classic Hobo 1913 Buffalo Nickel with an Obverse side Hand Engraving of a modern "Classic Hobo". The hatband id 24k inlay.
