SkullsvilleUSA Hobo Coins
A hobo nickel is an art form involving the creative modification of a coin.
The term hobo nickel is generic. Carvings can be made from any coin denomination.
This form of art was particularly popular among hobos because of it's low cost and portability,
and the U.S. nickel was favored because of it's thickness and relative softness.
This is why this form of art came to be called... Hobo Nickels.
The artistic altering of coins dates back to the 18th century or perhaps even earlier.
Please note! These coins are copies. They are not original U.S. minted coins.

Want to flip these coins for $20.00 or $25.00 each?
It's fun & easy. I'll tell you how I do it!
(The dollars flip best but I've flipped them all!)
For me, this works best in small shops & liquor stores.
Always carry a buck or two in change.
When you go to pay, always pay with exact change.
While you "fumble around" picking out the exact change,
lay down your hobo coin.
The clerk should notice it,
if they don't, just tell them "check this out" and push it toward them.
They may ask you something about the coin or just tell them something like,
"I use to sell these for $25.00 but this is my last one."
or "I sell these for $25.00... interested?"
You'll be surprised how many people are interested!
Often the person in line behind you is also interested.
Sometimes they'll offer you $20.00 or if they seem not so ready to buy,
you can tell them something like
"Give me $20.00 and it's yours. It's my last one."
Play with your pitch. Find out what works best for you and have fun!
Before you know it, you'll be flipping a coin almost every time you buy something.
