Lot Title:
|
1915-D Original Hobo Nickel, Artist Unknown. XF details.
|
|
Description:
|
A skillfully hand-carved vintage hobo nickel, made on a 1915-D host coin. The host graded XF-40 at minimum, with a strong horn and some luster, so it is perhaps a bit unfortunate that a more common host wasn't selected! Interestingly, this particular coin displays a doubled date and filled mintmark due to strike doubling.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Attractive pearl-grey surfaces provide an ideal backdrop for the primary devices of the 1915-D. Minor wear has hardly affected the details, and a lot of luster peeks through the patina. The 1934-D... |
