About the Coin
Struck in collaboration with infamous freight graffiti artist ICHABOD, the ICHABOD BM 3375 Coin features his iconic skull on the obverse (heads) side of the coin as it appeared on a Pan Am livery boxcar, running ID BM 3375. The selection of a Boston & Maine heritage car made a fitting choice given the artist’s affiliation with the Circle T and YME crews hailing from the respective Boston and Maine areas. The coin also shouts out other ICH-affiliated crews 63, SFL, OQB and 3YB.
ICHABOD
One of the most prolific and most recognized freight graffiti artists today, yet also one of the most elusive and mysterious, ICHABOD enjoys a legendary reputation among graffiti writers. He counts over 5,500 cars to his name as of the minting of this coin. Writing ICH, ICH!, ICHABOD and the occasional ICHOR, his most iconic compositions incorporate highly recognizable Helvetica-style tick-tock letters accompanied by the image of a skull as on BM 3375.
Limited Edition
The ICHABOD BM 3375 Coin represents a Limited Edition run of 250 pieces in blackened iron. The avid railfan and compulsive vandal simply loves the hard metal alloy of steel.
Preservation
With ICHABOD, we share a deep appreciation for the history of all things railroad. As part of our mission to preserve railroad history, we collect graffiti from decommissioned railcars with the intention of creating a museum for freight graffiti. BM 3375 represents one of our early preservation efforts.
Rail Yard Studios
The reverse side of the coin bears a circular track and the Rail Yard Studios brand as well as the serialized number for the coin. This circular track image will serve as the reverse side for a forthcoming Rail Yard Studios commemorative coin.
Shire Post Mint
In the interest of offering the highest quality coin possible, we partnered with Shire Post Mint. Crafted entirely by hand, their work maintains an old world look and feel on par with the high-quality fantasy coins they craft in connection with Game of Thrones and J. R. R. Tolkien.
