THE HOBO NICKEL

[Templar]

A WHILE AGO I EXPLAINED ABOUT HOBOS---THEY ARE LIKE THE AUSTRALIAN SWAGMAN---THE BUFFALO NICKEL WAS ETCHED AND CHANGED BY PEOPLE RIDING THE RAILS AND THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT GROWTH IN THIS HOBBY SINCE THE 1970S  WITH EACH CARVER GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND PUTTING SOME UNIQUE DESIGNS...I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE ONE I GOT THIS WEEK----TONY LEWIS CHANGED THE BUFFALO INTO A HOBO TRYING TO CATCH A PASSING TRAIN...I SHOW BOTH SIDES AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM

Desr Sir Templar:
Thanks for the information on how they make Hobo Nickels
As science has improved a lot, A Machinist, carve the Hobo Nickels by the machine, very quickly
and sell them for a high price.
I do not know how to differentiate
whether it is Hand Carved, or Machine Made.
Kindly inform.    Thanks
George
