1937 Hobo nickel.

I just acquired my first Hobo Nickel. Or maybe its a Hippie Nickel.
ether way I think it is a fun coin to have. I wish there was a way to attribute it to an artist. Post a Hobo if you want.

Carvers quite quintessential......I've got one. Just can't locate a photog......fun stuff though.

 

I like them, I even have a couple.
These are all by the same carver.

When I went to the Philadelphia US Mint the gift shop there sold Hobo Nickels. I didn't buy one but thought it was interesting.
(They don't allow pictures to be taken anywhere inside the Mint so I don't have the proof)


This is my first and only Hobo -

 

How about a hobo half.
