I was a little surprised as well. I thought they were called hobo nickels because generally the carving was of a hobo. I learn something new...
I would also like to mention another way to store the coins more safely, and still use Dansco pages. That is with Kointains. They are direct fit,...
Well, As far as supplies, I just bought the standard 2x2 flips from my local coin shop, and the plastic sheets. However, I also bought the plastic...
Ok guys, I did find some information about a "real" hobo nickel, and a "fake" hobo nickel. "Real" hobo nickels are referring to the older ones...

Riff, are you sure those are genuine? The original ones are a little thick, but that one you show on it's side looks too thick. Many counterfeits...
