<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 8323210, member: 97383"]Chris, Many thanks for your helpful info, I think you "hit the nail on the head" <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My hobo nickel has all the characteristics you carefully pointed out <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I bought the coin from a dealer/friend many years ago who had a small coin shop in Leroy, NY, John Cooper. One time when I stopped by for a visit John was grumbling that business was very slow. I didn't see anything in his shop that fit my collecting interests that day but remembered the hobo nickel he showed me, so I asked if he would be willing to sell it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. He quoted me $100.00 & I came home with the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I still treasure the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
