The hobo nickel is a sculptural art form involving the creative modification of small-denomination coins, essentially resulting in miniature bas reliefs. The nickel, because of its size, thickness, and relative softness, was a favored coin for this purpose. However, the term \"hobo nickel\" is generic, as carvings have been made from many different denominations.
Due to its low cost and portability, this medium was particularly popular among hobos, hence the name.
This is a 1937 carved hobo nickel. This little kitten is treading delicately through the tulip patch! We call it, \"Tip Toe Through The Tulips\"!
Take a look! We try to take the best photos possible and allow big enlargements so you can see exactly what you are getting! All carvings are signed by Howard. Any and all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
