Mrs merc lost a fight with mr lawn mower

[wheatfinder13]

Hey y'all

I went to an empty an empty lot where they tore down a house in the 1930s and found this poor little merc, silver #39 for the year, I hope I can make 40 by year end

Congrats wheat finder and good luck making your goal. You'll get there, maybe even 50 :-)
It's amazing how many coins get hit by those damn mowers!

 

[wheatfinder13]

Yeah stupid mowers

 

[wheatfinder13]

Do any of y'all have your own lawn mower coins? Please post pics. Lets see some mangled coins

 

[Ahab8]

This is just a small handful of the many mangled coins that I'm the proud owner of :-) luckily there's nothing old or valuable in my mower finds

I have a 1942 quarter that was dinged by a lawn mower - but cut silver is better than clad any day!

That is sad. The Mercury dimes are some of my favorite coins. I find a heck of a lot of clad that is cut by mower blades or bent in half. I also find a lot of zin-colns that are disintegrating or almost completely dissolved.

Here's a few of mine......

I have half bowl full of those. Zinc sucks. They rot faster than anything I've ever seen.

Now that is a nice collection of mangled coins. Congrats.

I'm glad to see you gave the poor old gal a good resting place.

 

[wheatfinder13]

Anyone else's bent coins?

You've got a one-of-a-kind there! Enjoy

 

[Msbeepbeep]

At lest you've got all of it. Still a real nice find.

 

[wheatfinder13]

Thanks

Here is my quarter that the lawnmower got! It's also my first silver!
