Here’s a fantastic gallery of hobo nickels posted on Squirl.

Description:
These unique pieces of metal combine the fields of numismatics, folk art, and history. The Indian head nickel is one of the most admired of all U.S. coins. Its design is true Americana! The years of its reign, 1913 to 1938, takes us through some of the most memorable periods in the history of the United States – the first World War, Prohibition and the Roaring 20’s, and the Great Depression – times we must not forget.
