<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 591572, member: 12965&quot;]If I am correct, the name Hobo Nickel has nothing to do with the carving, it has to do with the peeps that did the carving, since the majority of them were hobos.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; They had plenty of time on their hands, so they&#039;d sit around and carve on the nickel with their pocket knife or anything handy.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; That&#039;s why the older stuff is worth a lot more than the new stuff but some of the new stuff is done so well, they command a premium too.&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hobo can tell us more about these than I can!&nbsp; :hail:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
