[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3636115, member: 10461"]Yes, that has happened to me a few times, too. I once posted this modern hobo carving on the CU forums. I had paid $20-something for it, as I recall. It was carved on a 2015 Bombay Hook quarter, and the bird design from the host coin was left intact, so it had a bird on both sides. [ATTACH=full]975713[/ATTACH] I loved the owl on it, but someone wanted it for a gift for his (daughter?) who was a bird enthusiast. He twisted my arm until I finally accepted $100 for it. Actually, that's not a crazy price for a skillful modern hobo carving. They often fetch more, and surprisingly tend to go for a lot more than most 19th century love tokens do.[/QUOTE]
