<p>[QUOTE="Ike Skywalker, post: 4265881, member: 82381"]Because that’s what it is. It’s a Chinese casting of an original piece. The coins I posted are all original, die struck pieces. Sure, these aren’t hobos in the true sense of the word, and I never said they were. But it doesn’t surprise me that some old timers here would take offense to it. This sort of negativity toward new and interesting things is part of the hobby, and it sucks. I just have to deal with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>You guys need to get over the fact that the term “hobo” is going to stick with pieces like these. Don’t be afraid of change. Embrace it, and embrace getting out of an archaic way of thinking.</p><p><br /></p><p>MODS: I can see where this is going, so I request a lock on this thread. Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
