Thoughts on this hobo nickel? It has a full date and isn't completely worn on the reverse.   |

I agree with Missy. I believe that coins should not be altered or deformed in any way.

Missy: After reading several of your posts... Pretty sure you are trolling.

I'm torn on these. while I think the alterations are very cool I'm a bit against altering coins.

trolling
Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.
(slightly edited for content) Generally frowned upon and not tolerated well on CCF. I am not accusing you of trolling....just defining it. |

I am certainly not an expert on hobo nickels but the patination and crudeness of the carving make me think this could be a contemporary hobo nickel. If that is the case, it would have been carved when it was just a simple nickel from pocket change and might have been traded for a hot meal or a bed for the night.
