Comic Book Hobos (Modern Hobo Nickel Art)

I try to make it out twice a year but have never made a coin show; and yes, the better the work the more the money.

The Riddler / Edward Nygma

 

The Dark Knight



Looks absolutely amazing in hand! :devil:

 

Actually they have more metal to work with , you can always take more out but once it's out you can't put more back .

 

I like those Batman and Riddler hobos too... Good stuff!! Batman one rulez!

 

I would think those high relief nickels would have more relief area to work with than flatter modern nickels.

 

batman looks so cool. nice find.:thumb: did ya notice my new avatar pic ? a skull with a dragon. I went searching yahoo images for modern hobo nickels and ended up at a modern hobo nickel carvers website and found this thought it was super detailed. so I am using it as my avatar for a little while. In the near future I plan on using only my own insects coins as my avatar pic to generate interest in insects coins.

 

I have noticed that most Modern Hobo nickels have a black stain rubbed in. Makes the details pop out, and hides where the nickel was carved too deep.

 

That one looks very detailed. :thumb: The morbid horror theme ones are the ones I usually collect. Not many places on CT to post them at, not many people are interested in them. I've posted some in "Post your buffs", and some in "Creepy Coins".
