Would be good if you could post a pic of the normal nickel beside that picture, in approximately the same orientation. Whenever I see these, I like to see what original design elements are left untouched, that they worked into the design.
That's pretty cool, but I am almost certain it is a modern production.
I have several Hobo nickels in my reference collection, including one made on a counterfeit buffalo!
Those interested in the life and times of the Hobo might want to get of copy of Todd Depastino's book, CITIZEN HOBO. It has a picture of a hobo nickel on the dust jacket, along with pictures of a Hobo camp, and two gents riding the rails. I haven't got to read it yet, too many other books in line before it, but it sounds like it has the makings of a great book.
