We find strange things fun, it seems. Which is only proper.

The no-no site has lots of "hobo" coins.

So this is a novelty reproduction and not made from a real 1909?

It weighs 3.2g, size is a hair less than 19mm and the reverse is very much a LWC, but no, not an 09. It says "pressed", maybe a LWC is reconfigured IDK. Nicely done on the details tho.

The ones I have seen listed on ebay aren't made from real US cents. They have that known die chip on the wheat head suggesting the counterfeit Chinese coins. I even saw a 1964 Wheat cent carved like this. Yes, I said Wheat cent.
Still pretty cool novelty item though!


EDIT: Here is a link to one of them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Hobo-...047675.l2557
