Check out the prices, some of these modern "hobo" nickels go for hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

I know they are expensive, lots of work and artistry involved. Be great to find one while roll hunting.

 I actually found a dime like those while searching through some coin once. I didn't think it would be worth anything, but it did look pretty cool so I threw it in the keeper pile! |

I prefer the ones that actually use the devices of the coins and they are still somewhat recognizable. Maybe just cause I like coins but the other ones I would call art and not Hobo Nickels

Those coins are worth more than the vast majority of the vast majority of us will ever find. unbelievable artwork. I am shocked that there is that much of an audience and mafrket for tthat work and that the coins/art is so valuable.

Probably done with a computer and a stylist machine for engraving. That would be quick cash. Make a desing on your computer and have it transferred to the coin...
