Wooden Nickel Mania

These are some of the more than 350 hand-drawn wooden nickel tokens Rich made over the summer. He was inspired by carnival and side show tokens, advertisements, ancient coins, famous works of art, food, animals, vintage travel coins, fictional organizations and businesses, brothel tokens and other tongue-in-cheek humor. Most of the nickels have writing or an image on the reverse side that explains the image on the obverse. Rich is selling these at $2/each. He says, "They may be worth a nickel, but they cost two dollars!"  Along with the nickels, Rich also produced a number of small wooden tiles. These were mostly inspired by Arts and Crafts era pottery and tile works from the early 20th Century. Come by and browse through the basket of nickels and other assorted treasures.
