| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse retains the standard Morgan Dollar design featuring a left-facing draped bust of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, with stars surrounding the periphery and the date below. In this hobo-nickel fantasy adaptation, the original obverse has been re-engraved to depict a skeletal figure in place of Liberty's portrait. The surrounding legend and field follow the layout of the standard Morgan Dollar type. The design is executed in the engraving tradition of the classic hobo coin, with bold relief carving over the original die work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hobo nickels — and their larger Morgan dollar equivalents — emerged from a Depression-era folk art tradition, carved by itinerant workers who reworked surplus coins using little more than a nail set and a penknife. The Morgan dollar's high silver relief and broad planchet made it the preferred canvas for more ambitious carvers. "Outlaw" hobo carvings typically rework the face into a skull or skeletal figure, a subgenre that developed more deliberately in the late 20th century among collectors and competitive carvers rather than Depression-era hobos themselves.
Authentication matters here: the Original Hobo Nickel Society maintains attribution records for known contemporary artists.
