Thanks for the support
That is the first hobo nickel made with silver that I see. I like it.
I previously have seen this series but I could not find one to buy. I fortunately stumbled across this at my Local Coin Shop. I recognized it and could not buy it fast enough. I like it a lot.
His beard/stubble is so detailed! Very cool.
The detail is amazing. Now, consider that the original, actual hobo nickel was hand sculpted on a Buffalo Nickel.
That is crazy.
That's nice. I really like the antique finish on it. That makes the coin look a bit more weathered, which considering the fisherman appears to be a bit weathered, it matches.
I completely agree. The antique finish adds to the features and the overall appearance. It gives the fisherman a weathered appearance that matches the design.
Also, this Antiqued version has a lower mintage; thus, more rare.

That's awesome!!
I agree this hobo coin is awesome.
I don't have one but the Hobo is one of the better newer rounds. They nailed it and it looks nice in blackened form 😎👍
I finally got one. It is very cool. The designer is amazing. I saw some actual carvings and the guy is incredible. I need to find the rest of the series.
