[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 463381, member: 4350"]Hobo nickels were made with hard engraving tools. They are still made today with "dremel" tools and extremely hard steel tools. That was work done to the surface of the coin which is completely different than sitting around tapping the edge of a nickel with a spoon until it becomes smaller and smaller, making it next to impossible to hold on to, then drilling a hole in the center, continuing on with the process and ending up with something that would be smaller than a 1/2 inch compression fitting. It makes no sense. It wouldn't fit anything. Again, think what you wish, they do not exist. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
