Last Sunday night, Larry Dzuibek pointed me to some interesting Hobo Nickels that
had sold on eBay. Thanks! -Editor

That last one is not for sale. The first three have brought in the $300-$500 range
on heavy bidding. It's been interesting to see this genre of homespun art turn into something
more mainstream. Some of these artists are doing wonderful work. -Editor
