I have seen alot of Frankies in the melt bags....but I have never seen one like this Very crude and the coin is pretty beat up, but since I haven't seen one before, I figure it deserves a home so I gave it one !

This is the first one of these I've seen. I know there are entire societies dedicated to Hobo Buffalo nickels though.

That coin looks like it may have had some 'post-hobo' circulation wear (and you did find it in a 'junk silver' bag). I'm glad you're keeping it!
