doesn't really look like many of the old hobo nickels I've seen... these look like they were freshly done based on those photos.

 

This one looks like Red Foxx from Sanford and Son

 

These are the funniest things.. I was just looking at them today.. So funny

 

If you can afford them, look for billzach's coins. His work is beyond most anyone else's. Also, he occasionally posts here and sometime takes orders.

 

I think the only thing vintage there is the nickel. On top of that it's not a very good or interesting recut.
