>>Please pass this notice along far and wide.<<
Noted hobo nickel carver and engraver Ron Landis struck numerous Hobo Tokens annually over a decade at the Gallery Mint Museum for customers. These were minted on a screw press to appear like the old hand carved hobo nickels. The early issued tokens from 1996-2000 were struck over actual Jefferson nickels and the later ones from 2001-2005 were struck in coin silver. Landis hand engraved the dies that depicted a different obverse and reverse portrait pair issued year by year during that period.
At this moment, Striker Token and Medal, the new owners of Gallery Mint, Inc., are offering the remaining stock of these tokens for sale to the public until they run out. This offering includes some non-traditional varieties and a few off metal strikes in copper and brass. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis, as is, with no returns, until the limited remaining supplies are depleted.
If you hunted long and hard enough, you could locate some individual specimens of the tokens up for private auction online, and then find yourself in a bidding war to pay two to four times over what the very same pieces are offered for at Striker Token and Medal right now, with a huge assortment to select from. This is a great opportunity to fill those holes with the Gallery Mint Museum Hobo Tokens that you may have missed out on over the years, or to start a brand new collection for yourself. You might even consider stocking up on a number of them to offer as unique gifts that others would be sure to prize.
To help facilitate the process of ordering, I've created a webpage with a link to the Striker Token and Medal online order form and some other links to educational webpages featuring photos of some of the varieties being offered:
