Grifters

During the Great Depression, hobos spent countless hours traveling by train, often transforming their time into artistry by carving unique designs into “Buffalo Nickels.” These coins became prized possessions, symbolizing craftsmanship and status within their community. The creators of Hobo Nickels are celebrated not just for altering currency, but for producing intricate, sculpted pieces of art that served as keys to an underground world.

The Grifters coins draw inspiration from this rich history, embodying the essence of early 1900s Hobo Nickels. Featuring an antique silver-patina finish, each Grifter is meticulously hand-worn in Murphy’s manufacturing lab to minimize noise and enhance the smooth glide favored by expert coin manipulators. Designed with finely milled edges, these coins offer superior grip and handling, closely matching the weight and dimensions of a US Kennedy Half Dollar for immediate familiarity among coin workers.
