    The hobo coin is a sculptural art form involving the creative modification of small-denomination coins. The US nickel coin was favored because of its size, thickness and relative softness. However, the term hobo nickel is generic, as carvings have been made from many different denominations.
    Many artists made hobo nickels in the 1910s and 1920s, with new artists joining in as the years went by. The 1930s saw many talented artists adopting the medium. Bertram Wiegand, known almost exclusively as Bert, began carving nickels in the teens, and his student George Washington Hughes, known as Bo, began carving in the late teens.
    This replica Morgan Silver dollar is modeled in the same fashion as the historic artists that made them so desirable.
