BNB, you just insulted three people in a row that I respect. MarkFeld is one of the best dealers around, he has unlimited passion for helping...
I think Billy is probably right. I would guess a hobo collector could probably tell us more, because I know there is a significant price...
Very cool. I don't own any hobo's, but I think it would be cool to have one as a discussion starter.
Looks like some nice coins, and don't feel bad about not being able to take good coin pictures. Many collectors can't, because taking coin...
Picking up a penny is not worth it to me. I will pick up a nickel.

I have no idea what that is, but I certainly understand the excitement of finding a coin you've been looking for forever.
