Let's see your "creatively damaged" coins, be they hobo carvings, love tokens, counterstamps, graffiti coins, coin jewelry, or anything else odd or interesting done with a coin!
This started out as "HOBO & LOVE TOKEN TUESDAY", but there's so much more to it, and I can't always keep up with a Tuesday schedule, so let's make it an ongoing thing, hopefully something like the Seated and Barber megathreads.
Here were the first two threads. I encourage anyone who posted their stuff to those threads to repost 'em here, and we can keep this going with the occasional bump when somebody adds something interesting.

I love these threads. My kind of stuff.
I hope to start getting some pictures together and start contributing next week.

That's neat. Very intricate looking.
PS- but it doesn't look like it's done on an actual Buffalo nickel host coin, somehow?
Is that a larger struck token, by any chance? Silver round, maybe?

The dime is from San Francisco. The star on the cent seems slightly irregular.

Lance's popout Barber stickpin is also nice- nicer than the norm for those, I think.
I am way behind on my recent newps and hope to add a few soon.

I've seen those Napoleonic-era Cartwheel coppers before- you know what I think of 'em.
But what is that love token with the waterbirds on it? That is fan-freakin'-tastic! Looks like a pretty large host coin... silver dollar?

Really enjoyed this thread!! Some of the older guy/gals probably won't know what a fidget spinner is but this ones pretty cool.
I dunno what keeps happening with the images.
H&C's most recent post above this one are all broken now, too.
Pix seem to show a while and then go bad.
I thought it might just be me, but no- apparently this software has issues.

LordM, It's happening to me too.
Wow. A Hawaiian half cutout!
H&C, your stuff never ceases to amaze.
Probably makes the more mainstream folks cry or gnash their teeth, but I love it. Those "heartbreaker" coins can be heartbreaking and appealing all at the same time.

Some nice coins here.... not sure why the images reverted to IP addresses... but worth checking out... Cheers, RickO
Don't know if this would qualify as coin art but I thought I'd share a couple of posters I bought just because they have Buffalo coin and Peace dollar coin in them
That's more "art with coins" than it is "coins with art", but it works, as far as I'm concerned. Cool posters.
Why do you suppose they put the coins in them?
