The Skulls and Scrolls Hobo Nickel Round is so very pretty, sis @saffisara, it is a wonderful addition to your collection of silver. The art round is definitely nice and shiny!!!
Once again, the proof version pulls it away from the original intent of and concept of the hobo nickel. It was ... the Buffalo Nickle, then some artisan engravers ("hobos") work on the surface of the coin to come up with designs around the original engravings of the Buffalo nickel, and the creativeness and skill of the engraver artisan working on a very small surface was the special art of the Hobo Nickel. Since it is a nickel, it was naturally worn, so when some peeps starting making pretend hobo nickels "from scratch" they would sort of antique it. Then they started making it not on nickels or nickle size but 1 oz and 5 oz, and now that one is a si;ver proof, round depicting a hobo person and it is called Silver Hobo Nickel. I hope that you and I will not forget what the real Hobo Nickel is. Thanks for sharing, sweet @saffisara. Have a beautiful weekend, and take care 🥰🌺🤙
