What is HOBO coin? – The hobo nickel is a
sculptural art form involving the creative modification of small-denomination
coins, essentially resulting in miniature bas reliefs. The US nickel coin was
favored because of its size, thickness and relative softness. 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 “hobo nickel.”
The altering of coins dates back to the
18th century or earlier. Beginning in the 1850s, the most common form of coin
alteration was the “potty coin”, engraved on United States Seated
Liberty coinage (half dime through trade dollar) and modifying Liberty into a
figure sitting on a chamber pot. This time period was also the heyday of the
love token, which was made by machine-smoothing a coin (usually a silver
example such as a Morgan dollar) on one or both sides, then engraving it with
initials, monograms, names, scenes, etc., often with an ornate border. Hundreds
of thousands of coins were altered in this manner. They were often mounted on
pins or incorporated into bracelets and necklaces. Hobo-style coin alteration
could be found outside the United States, primarily in Britain, France, and
South Africa.
