Meet the Master

Based in Russia, rising star Roman Booteen (spelled Butin) maintains a mysterious level of anonymity, while producing hobo nickel creations which regularly shock the coin collecting community with both their subject matter and complexity.

His carvings include pop culture figures, and he often plays with exaggerating and softening the facial features of his characters giving them a real sense of personality.

DO I SELL? Of course I sell my work. All my work is sold, including the lighters and all coins. Everything you see has been sold and is “long gone”. There is no secrecy about this.

I DO NOT ACCEPT ​COMMISSIONS.
EVER.
