CONTEST! UGLIEST COIN CONTEST!

[Coinstar magnet]

I just saw an ugly counterfeit Kennedy 1/2 posted and thought it might be fun to see if there are other ugly coins out there. I will search around for one myself and see what I can contribute ...THANKS!

 

[ToddsPoint]

When my dad passed I found this Walker in his stuff. No idea where he got it but looks like a parking lot job. Gary

Jewelerguy....that Franklin is simply unrecognizable

when I found it I couldn't figure out what it was for some time other than it was silver. Look close enough to the pics and you can make out the right side of the liberty bell and Franklin's face. Can't figure out why someone would have done that

 

[Royn2751]

Merc, probably from a fire. There is a jewelers technique used with fine silver that creates similar patterning called reticulation. The reverse is barely visible.

 

[PetesPockets55]

Nope on that coin. That belongs on the political forum don't ya think?

 

[digger460]

Barber quarter

Dang, looks like Corona virus hit that bad boy.

 

[VA relicman]

My first silver was pretty damaged.

 

[sonofdust]

Nice. Is the bullet still impacted in the quarter?

Yes. Found a few with holes but this is the only one with the slug still in it?

 

[Tuberale]

So many coins, so little value.

 

[Coinstar magnet]

A coin only a mother's detectorist son could love...

 

[Coinstar magnet]

The SLQ, top right, is a beautifully ugly example of a coin...lol...

I wonder if anyone would notice if I clipped a little silver off it? Who knows they might have kept and carried because it was an error coin? Is there any obvious sign this was cut? There are partial planchlet errors

Speaking of ugly, here's an unfortunate lady Liberty that got turned into a naked fat dude

The cut edge is so rounded you can't tell if it was cut or torn. Gary

What a cool find...nice story....It has an allegorical feel to it......and it's toasted...

 

[Coinstar magnet]

Ugly and it has a date!

 

[Centsless Detecting]

Here is a very crunchy IHP my 6 year old found in the coinstar last year. I was so pround because she found one before I did. I can still see an 189X for a date... I think lol

 

[Digger RJ]

It didn’t clean up any better, no date and just enough to make out enough detail to identify it. Once it was cleaned and dried out it was much worse. Found at an old carnival ground sandwiched by iron.

 

[DiggerKid2003]

Right next to my dads perfect $2.5 dollar gold coin I found this little number. Can’t call it ugly but just a little more than messed up. Still a gold coin so I couldn’t be more happy with it

 

[A2coins]

Give me some time gotta find a way to get my face on one of my worn out coins....

 

[jhamner]

Here's a buffalo with a glob of (I think ) nickel on the face, because it has the same color and hardness as nickel. Under greater magnification, several letters like the ones on the coin are visible in the glob.
