There are many idiots out there.

 

no life at all.

 

That's just sad.

 

Yup pretty sad!

 

It is nothing like a hobo nickel! It is not clever, creative, or in good taste. There is no hint of artistic talent in this piece (of crap).

 

This is hysterical.

 

Actually I find it rather pathetic that someone would take a dremel, inscribe "booth was here" on a Lincoln cent and then try to pass it off as some sort of historical memorabilia!

 

The people I worry about have not come yet. Just wait until someone bids on it. Those are the one I worry about and, just guessing, they will come.

 

I'm sure they will...

 

I just checked out some of his past auctions :headbang:. Check out this auction it's just one of many. Modern Hobo Nickel Death Head Dead Buffalo! 2005 - eBay (item 270352098428 end time Mar-04-09 15:36:25 PST)
Very sad indeed

 

This person has some issues!

 

he really went into great detail on the dead bufflalo! lol

The obverse however is in keeping with the hobo nickel tradition (albeit twisted and freaky)

That is why you have 5 bids. Nickel art is quite collectable, I just sold a real hobo nickel for $56. Crazy


this one is disgusting....

I think someone here is lacking a sense of humor. I don't know if you guys, or the seller in case he actually thinks those are hobo nickels. Truth is my first reaction is to think he's trying to be funny.

 

There's a lot of twisted people out there. :rolling:

 

I could see maybe if he had one on there as a joke, but he doesn't he has tons of auctions with the same garbage. I think I have a pretty good sense of humor , but what he's selling is just tasteless.

 

Yeah I just saw his other auctions. The skull one is actually not as bad as simply scratching the coin with letters. It can still be the case that he just posts them to be funny, or it could be that he is an apprentice hobo-nickeler.

PS. Or would you say hobo-nickelist?

 

Freak.

 

Hack, not an apprentice!

 

That like the snake calling the worm a slithering slinky! :whistle:
