bbddbb10 Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 5:28 pm I kind of wonder why hobo nickels are worth more than the actual Buffalo nickel itself. You would think that they would lose value after they have been drawn on, but I guess they are considered artwork. Report this Post to the Staff
