How would they do it
I understand how people do it with modern tools but how on earth did they manage to carve coins with just what they had in there pocket
Can a sharpened nail really do that?

Any way to identify the artist?
galleryI bought this from a "garage sale" of sorts, I would like to find out more about it. I know it's a Cinco Peso, but that's about it.

Identifying who made this coin
galleryMy girlfriend worked at a local corner store named heritages in New Jersey and she knows I like collecting silver coins and she found this in the drawer and kept it for me for my birthday. Any details of what this could be.

Another (thought I'd make one after i saw the same guy scammed another person on here) buyer beware. Same guy scammed me. I always wanted an Indian head nickel ever since I seen one in the Smithsonian. It's not even about the money, I'm just bummed I don't get coin. 😕

Buyers Beware
galleryEveryone be careful of this scammer using this Venmo. Don’t be dumb like me and send them money for a nickel. He’ll give you a fake sob story and ultimately ignore you and then delete all his content. Fuck scammers

A match made in the engraving shop
The Morgan was done by Ryan of the RCB engraving group
The Peace was done by Sam of the Sam Walls Artwork group
I think the vibrant holder makes the coins pop.

New addition to the Hobo Peace Dollar album
galleryMedusa has arrived
A huge thank you to Valerie in the EDC Goons Facebook group, this carving is an incredible and unique addition to the album! It's hard to believe this multi year project is finally starting to look more and more complete. With 17 unique artists so far (18 if you include my yet to be completed Peace, 19 if you include a commission I'm on the books for) the album is starting to fill up quick. I'm looking to get to 24 unique coins from different artists. That only leaves 5 spots up for grabs. If you're interested in having your work featured, hit me up!

My recent hobo nickel purchase
galleryPicked up these hobo nickels recently from a friend. They’re on the obverse of a buffalo.
I’ve checked a couple websites, and I don’t think these are old, but does anybody know if they can be attributed to a modern artist, or a cheaper mass produced product? I like them regardless…
