    Got this in the mail yesterday. Love the design and I love the heft of a five ounce piece of silver. Anybody else have one of these? Would like to one day own a bonafide hobo nickel but haven't even looked at where and how much $$ for one.

    Me too.

    For starters, check out the Original Hobo Nickel Society website.

    And the Hobo Nickel Guidebook looks useful.
    (Maybe someone who has a copy will chime in.)

    BTW, I think "The Fisherman" is a terrific design -- especially with the antique finish. It looks beautifully produced too.

    @COCollector and @dwhiz , thanks for the links! Some good info there. Didn't realize there's been some rather racy ones made too......holy moly.
