2013 Winning Exhibit
Hobo Nickel Mini Men
Exhibit Class 6 MISCELLANEOUS Odd and curious, love tokens, wooden money, and material not covered in classes 1 thru 5, and U.S. and foreign.
Carol took home a first place ribbon and prize at the 2013 58th Annual F.U.N Convention for her Hobo Nickels With Mini Men exhibit. Let's take a walk down memory lane and view my 2013 FUN Convention Video interview and exhibit photographs of her wonderful Hobo Nickel exhibit presentation.
Explore the Bourse Floor: FUN Convention TV had an opportunity to speak with Carol Bastable at the 2013 FUN Convention about her winning Hobo Nickel exhibit, which focused on the "Mini-Men of hobo nickel carving. However, our conversation did not stop there. Carol has a vast number of numismatic interests. She graciously shared her thoughts on Women In Numismatics, Hobo Nickel Carving, Ancient Coins, and her devotion to Love Tokens. She is not your typical numismatist!
