<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 344367, member: 11521&quot;]I would tend to agree (to a point) if someone took a 1936 buffalo nickel today and carved it into a hobo nickel. But this hobo nickel was carved soon after this nickel was minted when buffalo nickels in circulation were plentiful and were only worth 5 cents. The hobo that carved it may have traded it for a good meal or a pair of shoes - something he could not have bought for 5 cents. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are some very good modern carvers (such as Billzach who is a member here at CT) that can take a coin such as this and turn it into a work of art. I would hate to see Billzach carve an uncirculated 3-Legged buffalo nickel but I am OK with him carving an XF 1936 buffalo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
