I didn't ruin this US 3 cent!

It's not a Hobo Nickel, as it is a 3 cent, but it is logical to classify it with other carved coins.

That is a very interesting piece, oriole. It must have been quite a challenge to carve such a tiny coin.

Now that is pretty cool. Seems sorta Halloween-themed.

In a Tim Burton sort of way.

Wonderful relic! Probably worth many times it's face value to the right collector, too! I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
