A modern solid-metal reproduction of a 19th-century hobo dollar, with a custom skeleton miner holding a pickaxe on the obverse and a classic wreath marked "ONE DOLLAR" on the reverse. An antiqued silver patina gives it a weathered look, and deep relief carving keeps the detail of the original scale. It is not legal tender and not an antique. It suits collectors of replica coinage, gothic decor displays, photography props and craft projects rather than anyone wanting a genuine coin. Against real hobo nickels and dollars, it offers a striking skeleton motif at a fraction of the collector outlay, but it carries no numismatic or metal-value premium.

This is a replica of an 1871 hobo dollar. The obverse shows a custom skeleton miner design with a pickaxe. The reverse shows the classic wreath marked "ONE DOLLAR."
The replica is a solid metal reproduction that matches the original scale. Deep relief carving preserves the intricate details. An antiqued silver patina gives it a weathered, vintage look.
Each piece has subtle tone variations, so no two are exactly the same. The coin you receive may differ slightly from the listing photos. It is a modern replica, not an original antique coin, and it is not legal tender.
