Skull Nickels.. awesome..

Skull Nickels sculpture currency art anatomy  


These are called Hobo Nickels crazy. Most are the work of unemployed artists during the depression (thus, “hobo”). A number of artists etched away the flesh of the subject to reveal these awesomely macabre skulls. Hobo nickel carving remains a popular hobby today and it even has a society. Images linked to their sources, most of which are live ebay auctions. Enjoy..
