    These 'hoboists" are really getting out of hand.

    That looks to be a 1913 Type 2 in at least VF. It's details but that's a cool head design, with that it may get VF bid. Definitely interesting.

    I know it's sort of strange but what does this mean? Looks like a prison job. :rolleyes:

    The earliest hobo nickels (meaning the ones actually carved during the Depression) are often crudely done. I am guessing that this might be one of those, rather than one created by our thread author?

    This is a vintage carving! I was lucky to win the auction for it. It sold for a lower price because it was damaged after it was carved. Its one of my favorite hobo nickels.
