The Seated has been turned into a love token. Not sure what's going on with the IHP tho.

Popped-out coin? (Hobo coin?)

Thanks for the ID. I have heard of those, checked them out and noticed this one had a hole being punched but never completed. Cool history.

Nice!
A long lost art I guess, you never see stuff that cool being done like that anymore

Interesting researching hobo coins...it seems like this one was re-struck, perhaps it was punched first?
