Hobo Coins Series II - The Aviator

Hobo Coins are die-struck coins that reimagine classic US coins with new designs. The Aviator - 1942 Mercury Dime Our latest take on the classic Mercury dime, featuring one bad ass pilot on the front, and a Catch-22 inspired Mitchell B-29 on the back—which is, incidentally, the source of my website’s name Dead on Paper. Aged with an antique silver-finish. As with all the coins, this is a 39mm die-struck, hefty 10 gauge coin. This coin will have a ‘reeded’ edge like the original Mercury dime. Each coin weighs about the same as 5 US. quarters, and are a little larger than the size of a US Dollar coins. Die-struck with over 100 tons of pressure in solid metal alloys and featuring a variety of finishes as shown. Also available as a set of four antique-finish coins. It's important to note that the brass-plated steel coins are a little thinner than the other finishes (12 gauge), but can be used with magnets. Please note that Hobo Coins are not actual US currency or modified US currency coin
