Hobo Nickel
Hobo Nickel 1888 Morgan Dollar Skull Horse Skeleton Art Carved

The hobo nickel is a 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 is generic, as carvings have been made from many different denominations.

Due to its portability, this medium was particularly popular among hobos, hence the name.

The necklace is 24 inches 925 sterling solid Silver chain Necklace.
