Hobo nickels are very cool and the ones you posted are beautiful and I think hard to come by. Here is the only one I own. Believe it was done with only a hammer and nail. They are all very fascinating.

 

Wow. Looking at that makes me want to commission one. It would probably be out of my price range, however.

 

They are cool-thank you.

 

Actually not as much as you would think

 

Buying one he already made would be cool, but I meant giving him a topic/design. Still, that Sleep Hollow one is sweet!

 

There is no denying the talent involved with the modern pieces, but they leave me cold. The contemporary pieces that are well done are the ones I find fascinating.

 

True works of art the whole group! Thanx for showing a unique art form I thought was all over and done.....

 

I like the 64 Bert Penny

It's amazing how much these sell for.

 

I wonder how many people missed the fact that was made on an OFF CENTER error penny!!

 

I did, on a cent

 

I've never been much of a fan of art that damages coins. I've never been an art collector. I've never been very willing to spend big money on something with a narrow market.

These coins completely smash all three objections. I am in awe.

 

Simply amazing

 

I just went back and looked!

I didn't notice the first time I looked at it.

Anyone see them for sale somewhere other then ebay?

 

Without doubt an art form requireing serious talent!.....

 

Great catch on the off center cent @BigTee44

 

I like this "hobo" version of a S. Korean 100 Won coin. Skulls/skeletons seem to be popular among hobos, huh? Admiral Yi becomes a Mexican "Dia de los muertos" character(!)

 

that was sbutron13 that pointed it out to me... didn't even think about the date being so far up, was just in aww from the sweet art.
