Default Re: My latest hobo nickel

They are and they're great practice.

Do a few on modern nickels first - that way you're using practice plates that only cost you five cents. Once you think you're starting to get the hang of it, hit a coin dealer and get some inexpensive buffalo nickels (probably cost you about 50 cents to a dollar each) and go to town. Don't forget, when you list your first one on eBay make sure to note it's your first one. And be sure to put 'Hobo Nickel' in the title so the collectors find it.

Oh yeah, a two sided one I finished yesterday that I'll be putting up soon I call "Tails on the Trail". The description is "Rocky better get moving, Thunder is on his tail!"
