Nice.....

I'd LOVE to have somebody try to give me one of THOSE...

I remember the big stink over the 'Ron Paul' coins a while back...

Selective enforcement, perhaps?

My favorite line was:

"Heller explained that once a coin is altered it loses it's value from a coin collector's viewpoint and becomes merely a souvenir."

Amen, I'm tired of all those worthless hobo nickels and love tokens I find in my change. JJ

altogether different animal .
it's the History in the Hobo Nickel.
which values it.

New Hobo Nickels
are just tokens not worth anything
to real collectors.

only the original ones are
it's like comparing indian spear points with
Fake ones
