I don't understand the poll. What is the difference between a "hobo nickel" and a "hobo coin"?

BTW - Here's the Original Hobo Nickel Society webite.

in responce to the difference between hobo nickels and hobo coins ---some carvers generally use or usaed buffalo nickels--modern carvers use all types of coins--domestic and foreign and the hobby has started to grow in Europe---prices run from as little as $15 to hundreds of dollars depending on who is carving the image and what type of coin is being used

Thanx, now I get the terminology.
I have one hand carved hobo nickel.
It's a 1937-D Five Legged Buffalo by Ron Landis. Not for sale.

   KEEP THE HOBO BY RON LANDIS--HE IS QUITE POPULAR AND THE HOBO BY HIM WOULD PROBABLY BRING GOOD MONEY IN AUCTION--IT SOUNDS LIKE A TAKE OFF OF A 1937-D 3 LEGGED BUFFALOE WHICH IS AN ERROR COIN WORTH HUNDREDS!--YOUR SERVANT THE TEMPLAR!
