This was in an auction lot I recently purchased. What might it be categorized as? Any value here?

Love token / hobo nickel hybrid? It is neat to find something like this. Might be worth more to a collector of "oddities", than the melt value of US$2.50-3.00???

If you are going to get rid of it, you might consider putting it in a KSA.

Thanks for the input. I am more into trading rather than selling. This one will most likely end up on my trade list.

Cheers
