JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS..!! - "LOVE TOKEN INITIAL" - hand carved by Buzzardjaws.
HOBO NICKEL - "YOUR CHOICE OF INITIAL" - hand carved modern hobo nickel by Buzzardjaws.
In this listing, you can choose ANY ONE of the coins in the photos, and your choice includes the hand engraved nickel with the letter of your choice.  You need to let me know when you pay, or before you pay, which INITIAL COIN you want.  ANY LETTER IN THE ALPHABET, even if it is not shown in the pictures.  The host coins are ALWAYS a US nickel, but not all of them are the same style or the same date.  I can do custom coins for you as well, for instance if you want a special date on the coin, such as a birthyear or maybe a graduation year. Just let me know what it is you want.  If I don't have it in stock, I will carve one for you.  The ONLY change in pricing is if you request a nickel in the years of 1942 to 1945 where the nickel is a silver coin. It will cost you an extra dollar for those years, because the silver nickels cost me over a dollar to purchase.  If you wouId like to have the coin mounted in a bezel and necklace chian included, I have another separate listing for the coin mounted in a necklace, and the price only more.
My name is Duane Caldwell and I am a registered carving member of the Original Hobo Nickel Society (OHNS) , member #LM 1430.  My registered carving name is "Buzzardjaws", and my registered signature on each of my coins is "BuZz".  All coins sold by me are original hand carved coins, "one of a kind" (OOAK), and are NOT stamped out, minted or 'pressed'. The one thing that makes my coins different from most other modern carvers is that I keep alive the old classic style of carving nickels by using ONLY hand made tools, mostly made from hardened masonry nails.  NO power tools are used in my carvings, such as Dremel, rotary power tools or vibrating engraver tools.
I use my own technique to put what I call a "holographic" effect on each coin, so that the image will look different as you rotate it in the light. Sometimes it will look like a highlighted face design with a dark background, and as you rotate it in the light it will change to a dark face with a highlighted background. The photographs show the difference, but still photos cannot show the change it makes as you move it in your hand. In your hand, the effect is quite awesome.
Look at my "other items" and see if you see your favorite design, since I have a few dozen different ones as of right now. If not, I can make a custom coin for you with the face or design of your own choosing. Just use the "contact seller" option to let me know what you want.  Cost will be the same as what I am charging here.
