What is a Hobo Coin? (I know is not a nickel but I found this info about HOBO COINS) Let’s say you’re going through some old coins and one of the Indian Head nickels catches your eye. Something’s not quite right. On closer inspection, you notice the man portrayed on the front of the coin is wearing a cap instead of the usual feathered braid. Or has a beard. What sort of coin is this? Is it real? Counterfeit? Legal? The answer is yes…and no, because you may be holding a Hobo Coin.What is a Hobo Coin?A hobo coin is a generic term applied a certain type of coin that has been altered to change the appearance of the subject on the coin. It may have been done artistically, or perhaps as a joke. Or both. And while it isn’t only done by hobos, it was especially popular among the transients of the post-WWI and Depression eras, who have given the coins their popular name, along with Hobo Nickels, even though other coins were often used as well.How Long Have Hobo Coins Been Around?Even though the so-called hobo coins are associated with the early 20th-century US, artistically altered coins have been crafted since at least the mid-1700s. While primarily a US phenomenon, altered coins were also popular in England, France, and South Africa. And hobo coins continue to be made to this day.
