Free,
Here are a few older ones that I found that have been mowed, shot, drilled, and smooshed.
The one at the top left is the only US Half-cent I ever found.
The second pic. is a closer shot of the half-cent.

Here is another one that I ran across.
This one must have been hit by a horse drawn mower. I tried to find the half with the date, to no avail.

Spent three weekends detecting our baseball stadium here, and just about every coin found was cut! I found half coins, quarter coins, and quite a few that were just nicked. Good stuff came from under the grandstands, but I had to dig through a gang of peanut shells soaked with beer in an enclosed area, yeeeecccchhhhh!
