Hobo Help!

Hey gang! I am going to share a small part of my collection in the hopes that someone may have the final coins I need to finish it up. I am collecting an old original hobo nickel collection by date and mint mark. If anyone happens to have an average or better date I need, I am a fish! Any help is appreciated!

I don't collect these but this is a way cool niche to attempt! good luck and hope someone can help you out.

Thank you. I am down to the difficult to find D-mint coins. Most hobo nickels that are not on Philadelphia mint coins come on S-mint. It adds absolutely no value to have one mint or another, but D mints are tougher to find on hobo nickels.

1918/17 Hobo, that's impressive.

Most people don't notice that one unless I point it out. There are two known, and mine is the only one that is actually carved. The other coin they just punched the tip of a nail into it to make a crude beard.

Wow, wow, wow. Impressive collection. That '28 is too much!

Best of luck on your hunt for a complete set. What an accomplishment that would be.

Thank you! I just picked up a 1923-S today. It's just OK, but it meets my minimum grade.
