well here are the first 3 hobo nickels that i have picked up. they are all by the same artist. i am pretty amazed at the detail that is put into these beauties. enjoy :thumb: 1936 OLD MAN BUFFALO HOBO NICKEL (KIND OF LOOKS LIKE MR. MAGOO) 1939 OLD MAN JEFFERSON HOBO NICKEL 1944 INDIAN CHEIF JEFFERSON HOBO NICKEL
These are soooo cool, how do they carve this stuff in? And do they use a regular nickel or start from scratch? If they are from scratch, what material are they? Nice pickups!
i believe they would use a dremel with different attachments. they do use an actual nickel and just carve away.
