Two-Sided Hobo Nickel.
<B>Two-Sided Hobo Nickel.</B></I> An interesting two-sided original carving that grades Above Average (low) overall. It is especially interesting because most of the work on the obverse is quite well done (the hat, altered profile, etc.), but the hair and beard looks like it was done by a different person, possibly as an addition to a finished coin. The reverse of the host 1915-P XF coin depicts a legless image with the bison's head still fully intact (possibly unfinished by the carver?), and the bison's hump resembles a backpack. A most unusual piece that could certainly tell a story.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
