Description
Bearded Man in a Domed Hat
Raised Metal Collar Lapel, Signed GH 2(?)
Sharp and Lustrous
1913 Type One Hobo Nickel, Signed by Bo. Clearly, Bo was
working hard at learning the art of raised metal carving in the
1920s. His teacher was Bert, and this coin may have been a tribute
to his mentor. The portrait resembles Bert in appearance, although
the workmanship is Bo's. Note that the letters BERT remain -- the
typical Bert Wiegand signature -- a characteristic shared by other
Bo carvings of Bert. Del Romines suggests this is one of three
pieces done in a similar way, two of which were signed GH 28 under
the lapel, as stated on the OHNS Certificate #R-012 dated October
10, 1993. This one shows GH clearly under the lapel, plus a faint 2
nearby. The final numeral of the carving date is obscured behind
the raised metal overlay.From The Jack Royse Collection of Hobo Nickels.
