CWTokenman,

I'm not a BIG Hobo Nickel collector but I like them and I do buy one every now and then. I collect a bit of everything (I guess I'm a Type Collector) and my coin money gets spread thin (especially thanks to the Mint and their First Spouse coins and the UHR St. Gaudens Double Eagle).

Snaz, check your e-mail.

Thanks for the friend invite Hobo. I was a little surprised to read that you are not a big hobo nickel collector. What is your favorite series?

hey hobo, I tried emailing you about a counterfeit coin using the email function here at CT butbim not sure if it works or gets blocked by spam filters. Let me know if you got it alright.

Hi, I have a $20 gold coin proof edition in honor of Jamaica's 10th anniversary of independence. How can I find its value?

Nice try, Lafayette (aka Isaiah, Ishii, $incere, 1909-S, et al). But it looks like I was NOT mistaken after all.

Jazz,

That's a tough question to answer. On one hand I have to think there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe based simply on how many other stars there are and how many solar systems that exist. If even a tiny, tiny percentage of them can harbor life and if a tiny, tiny percentage ot them have intelligent life there could be thousands if not millions of other advanced civilizations scattered across the Universe.

On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that aliens are visiting Earth but do so clandestinely making crop circles and performing alien abductions. If they are advanced enough to travel across the incredible distances of space to successfully reach Earth I would think they would make it a priority to make their presence known and to contact the leaders of various countries (like Klaatu did in the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still - a GREAT movie).

Snaz,

I have a handful of Hobo nickels, perhaps 8 or 10 at this time. Some are Original grading from Crude to Above Average. Some are Modern grading from Crude (trying to fool someone into believing that coin is an Original Hobo) to Superior.

Hobo Nickels are only one area of coin collecting that I am interested in. I plan to add more Hobos as I run across them and my finances allow.
