That's obscene.

Hey thats my work! Whenever I get bored I sit down and ruin part of this nations history.

When I saw it, it was like pure horror. As if a dagger was being thrust into my heart. And who knows what mintmark it was?

lordmarcovan · February 7, 2003 11:49AM

Ouch.

Even I, the Holey Coin King, must admit that that's awful.

At first I thought it was a '23, which wouldn't have been so bad.

clw54 · February 7, 2003 12:00PM

Probably a 1928-D.

dbldie55 · February 7, 2003 12:03PM

A 1928-D would indeed be rare. I would bet a 1928-S, ruined a $5-$10 coin.

I just saw this auction!! a 1928 no doubt!

artists that lob off eagle heads should be doing hard time,in my opinion...

Shocker · February 7, 2003 2:09PM

To top it off, it looks cleaned. Oh the shame!

sinin1 · February 7, 2003 2:23PM

I guess I am in the minority here but I think it looks cool - and would spend $10 for it but not $100.

clackamas · February 7, 2003 2:29PM

But just look at those deep black mirrors

Its a $5 coin and skillfully carved out, I thinks its cool. Look at all the Buffs that got carved up with the hobo craze.

What the heck is it supposed to be? I don't have a problem with it...bummer if it was a 1928 (P)...but maybe that explains the price...they are trying to recover their loss?

THE BUTCHER ACTUALLY HAS TWO PAGES OF THESE MONSTROSITIES ON SALE!!!

I think the big fat coin vault guy should pick up on it and start hocking these as MS65.

If you live in southern California, you can go down south of the border to TJ and there are planty of places that have Morgan

There once was a starving artist that needed to get his hands on some extra silver.........

Geez, if you're gonna cut up a coin, at least have the decency to do it to a Frankie or a Sac...

bohica268 · February 8, 2003 6:10AM

If you didn't like that then don't look here!

I bought my daughter one of these for Christmas.

flaminio · February 8, 2003 6:33AM

Eeep!

KlectorKid · February 8, 2003 6:36AM

I think those are done with a waterjet machine.

bohica268 · February 8, 2003 6:58AM
