CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 5:26 pm I've have heard and seen carved nickels on this forum referred to as Hobo nickels. I think they look very interesting and have been keeping an eye out for one. So here's a thread to show off your Hobo Nickels! (Pictures recommended) And I have a few questions: -Are they always Buffalo nickels that are carved? -How are they made? -How much would one expect to pay for a Hobo Nickel? (in other words, how collectible are they?) Report this Post to the Staff

CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 10:46 pm Yes it looks like prices were more than I were expecting... In the hundreds! I had no idea! A record $24,000 just for one! (second link) That makes seeing pictures of them that much more amazing. Report this Post to the Staff
