[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!

View attachment 1835913 This one is paper thin at the top! Quarter found in 1900 era layer.

Ive got a small handful of "fire" coins - my oldest is a 1 reale - I knew coin was silver but is a mess - one day I was looking at it and could faintly make out the 2 pillars on it
nothing else

Yeah, I've gotten lots of coins attached to rocks and shells. This is one of my favorites attached to a fishing weight. It made one heck of a signal! I just had to clean it a little to see what coin it was. 1945 Washington quarter. I decided I liked it better keeping it on the sinker.

I get a lot of zinc pennies when Im down in Fla. stuck to rocks and coral - those suck cause a lot of times I end up throwing them back if i dont see the coin and then have to search again

CASPER-2, that coin with the 'sea debris' stuck to it...reminds me of a 'carrier shell'.

This came out of the dirt. Fortunately it wasn't something good like a bust dime.

Ugly franklin half

Burn damaged worn slick Franklin half stuck to a 1971 Mexico 1 peso (clad).

Back in February, these 2 uglies were dug in a burn pile spill just a black and green blob of stuff stuck to them, had to whack between 2 boards, then pry apart. Huge signal on the Nox 800 too (ID 33), only 2" deep.

I'm really impressed with the variety of trashed coins...
