Grim Reaper Middle Finger Hobo Nickel Coin –...

This Grim Reaper middle finger hobo nickel coin depicts a skeletal Death figure rising from darkness, one tattooed bony hand raised in a defiant gesture, draped in a tattered shroud with chains hanging at its side. The deeply carved antique silver relief captures every detail — from the skull's hollow gaze to the intricate tattoo markings on the skeleton's knuckles. The inscription E Pluribus Unum arcs across the top in classic Morgan dollar style, with the date 1921 anchoring the base. A bold, unapologetic piece for collectors who appreciate dark folk art at its most expressive.

This piece is a Gothic hobo collectible coin designed for display and collection.

About the Design

The hobo nickel tradition began in the early 20th century when travelling craftsmen carved intricate scenes into Buffalo nickels and Morgan dollars. Today's hobo nickel revival pushes that tradition into darker, more expressive territory — and this Grim Reaper design is one of the most striking examples. The skeleton's defiant gesture, combined with the memento mori symbolism of Death itself, creates a powerful statement piece that sits at the intersection of Gothic art, folk craft, and dark humour. The tattooed hand adds a modern edge to the classic format, making this coin a favourite among collectors of alternative and dark art.
