It would be too cool if the 1918 was an 8/7!!!

If?
It is a J Press "Newspaper Hat Clown" hobo nickel that is a 1935 Buffalo nickel. I paid $18.50 for it on ebay.
<< <i>That one on the upper left reminds me of this guy:
Does Van Gogh know that his work was copied?
Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.
The first one is a "Baseball Player" hobo nickel. It was carved out of a 1935 Buffalo nickel and it was signed by J Press.
The second one is a "Female Player" hobo nickel. It was carved out of a 1936 Buffalo nickel and it was signed on the reverse by J Allen.
I bought this late last week as a lot on ebay and I paid a total $33.00 for these two hobo nickels.
I paid $8.00 for it. The buffalo nickel that the artwork was carved on does not appear to be in the greatest shape and that is why it looks "dark" in the picture. I tried taking the best picture that I could of this hobo nickel.

If? The only difference between this and the last time around is the major banks weren't propped up with taxpayer money. Go to fdic.org and look at the failed banks list in just your state. And we're not out of this, yet, not by a longshot.
It is a "Dog" hobo nickel that was created by Keith Pedersen. The reverse was carved out instead of the front of this buffalo nickel. I paid $36.00 for it. The "KP" on the "dog tag" stands for Keith Pedersen.

This hobo nickel was created by Keith Pedersen (KP = Keith Pedersen's "signature"). I bought this last Saturday (Nov. 29) at a flea market and I paid $31 for it.
Check out the OHNS at www.hobonickels.org. The magazine is one of the best in numismatics, and by itself is well worth the price of admission.
The "Distinguished Professor" hobo nickel. Created by the carver known only as "SG". I bought it on ebay and I paid $14.68 for it.
Good Stuff!!

I bought this today at a coin show and I paid $8.00 for it. The artist is unknown. On the front of nickel, the Indian Head "hat" says "Show Me The Money". The nickel was not in the greatest of shape when it was carved out. I did not find many hobo nickels at the coin show.
Thanks for any info!
