Never really found hobo nickels that amazing. Yes, I think the time and effort that went into making them was amazing, but most of the time, the new design is a disgrace to the original buffalo nickel. There are some designs that do look kinda cool, and BilZach posts some pretty cool ones here, but I enjoy the carvings of the other denominations, more than the buffalo nickel. BTW, nice Aunt of yours. __________________ 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser Donations will be taken from March 1st to March 27th   12-03-2009, 12:10 AM   #6 (permalink) Ruben Member   Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 86 I have always looked on these as defacing an otherwise classic coin. Really good art work, though.   12-03-2009, 09:57 AM   #7 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,474 That is a very cool coin.
