HOBO NICKEL-JOHN TRAVOLTA

John Travolta Biography: Born on February 18, 1954 in Englewood, New Jersey, John Travolta decided to become an actor by age twelve. After appearing on Broadway, Travolta got his big break on the hit sitcom Welcome Back Kotter and went on to star in such movies as Carrie and The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. It wasn't until he appeared in Saturday Night Fever that Travolta became a cultural icon, and he continued his success in the films Grease and Urban Cowboy. During the 80's Travolta saw a dry spell in his career and only found success in movies such as Look Who's Talking. However, John weathered the slow years and made a phoenix-like comeback with the hit movie Pulp Fiction. Since then Travolta has had a string of successes such as Broken Arrow, Get Shorty, Phenomenon, Michael, Face/Off, Primary Colors, A Civil Action, and The General's Daughter.

Since Travolta is one of my favorite actors, I have carved his "likeness" on a 1936 XF, light full horn, buffalo nickel, for someone's collection. It has a smooth field and every original feature of the nickel has been altered. This is a nice, very clean carving that you will be proud to have in your collection. It is signed on the reverse with my usual G hanging J mark.
