murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 03/20/2012 02:15 am I don't think I would even pay $50 for it. I know it is a super rare coin and all, but it would bring my eyes more pain than pleasure. Report this Post to the Staff

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 10:56 am I wouldn't say it's so hard. Many Hobo nickels have gone for much more. :-) It's the novelty, plus the art value (as it is rather pleasing to the eye). I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for $500. Report this Post to the Staff
mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 12:04 pm I hate to see any coins defaced, but I agree there are some nice Hobo nickels. I just don't see much that qualifies as "art" in what was done to that 1793 cent. Wish I could have that one, untouched! :) I did tell the seller yesterday that the counterstamped 2 might actually be a combined 9 and 2, but no idea in either case what it represented - maybe 1792 or 1829 or 1929. I guess we'll never know. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 11:01 am My guess is that this may have been someone's effort to produce the first Two Cent Piece ... looks like a poker chip, too. Even at $500 + it's a great conversation and study piece. Report this Post to the Staff
