Thank you for your interest in the Original Hobo Nickel Society! We would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about the society.

We all share an appreciation for Hobo nickels! These unique pieces of metal combine the fields of numismatics, folk art, and history. The Indian head nickel is one of the most admired of all U.S. coins. Its design is true Americana! The years of its reign, 1913 to 1938, takes us through some of the most memorable periods in the history of the United States; the first World War, Prohibition and the Roaring 20's, and the Great Depression. These are times we must not forget. Each hobo nickel is unique as they were all individually hand carved, using the design of either the Indian or the buffalo as a base, and altering it to another design altogether.
