don't know bout the rest of you guys/girls but this one doesn't look like no dog bone i have ever seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/hobo-nickel...50?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2a187ecbe6

 

ahahahaha definitely not a dog bone

 

I seen some on ebay that were done to Morgan dollars.

 

Interesting.. I could put all my low grade buffalos to use

 

Do a search for Billzach here on the forums, he is a member who does hobo nickels. Really amazing work.

 

Another version is the "potty dollar"

 

Lol that's awesome d.t.menace

 

Never seen or heard of these before but there awsome, love the detail.

 

what tools exactly are used? a dremel? power engraving tool? manual?

 

Today they are called "homeless" nickels.

 

How are Buffalo nickels any softer than other nickels ? Nickels would be the hardest coin around during the Depression.
