SEGS Original Hobo Nickel, Low Superior, Carver Unknown, Mintage Unknown. SEGS #5459531592725286032. These artists would hop on a train and take a buffalo nickel from their pocket, and while the train was traveling from one town to another, they would carve images with a pocket knife. Once they arrived at the next town, they would sell the newly carved piece to someone for a sandwich. These designs are fun, intricate and highly creative.
