  I usually like gold simply because but this one is sort of poorly executed in my opinion.
  
  The hobo coins I like are the ones where the artist was highly skilled. This one looks wonky, primitive, incomplete. Something wrong.
  
  
  
  I also saw that coin the other day. Do you remember a fellow that went by the name of 'BNB'? He posted here for a time.

  That one is alright, but I like the other "hobo" $5 he's selling tonight much better. And I'm only saying that now because I've already been outbid

  Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

  << <i>Sorry if anyone is currently bidding on this as I don't want to blow your cover but, I found this searching through the soonest ending hobo nickels and think it's worth a share.
  
  
  i think these melt at $415. i saw a few posts before of skull hobos, but never on a gold $5 liberty!
  
  edit to add: just found out seller has another gold one, but this one with a derby hat. very cool! i know at the FUN show I saw a few derbies sell for over $300 and they were just the nickel ones! >>
  
  
  Creepy!

  Ditto. Scrap gold.
