    They are fun coins!! The Original Hobo Nickel Society has a Facebook page! There are a lot of carvers on that page you could get one from!

    Handle bar mustaches are the best! For those its better that the carving is looking straight on! Its a carving I plan on doing! I have thought about it and I want to find a wanted poster or a mugshot of someone with a handle bat mustache and engrave that.
