Default ever hear of a hobo nickel???

these were popular because they were easy to come by and soft, so easy to carve. hobos carved these when they had time to kill. some are quite beautiful and valuable.
this one is magnificent.

Seen them before, those on that site are pretty impressive, lots better than the crap the mint's turning out these days.

Capt Ahab is my favorite.
