What's the ugliest coin in your collection?

This isn't a joke thread. I really want to know about the ugliest coin in your COLLECTION. Why do you like the coin enough to collect it? For example, it could be a fire damaged and bent Barber quarter recovered from the San Francisco earthquake ruins. Or it could be a decent example of a miserable design (sorry, Lucy!), but only if you really think it's ugly and you still LIKE it enough to COLLECT it.
Now, try to disgust us with your ugly coins. Just try!
PS - A third of the coins in my own collection could be called ugly. They're all from the farside, so I'll spare you the pix.

But it was struck threw grease in some of the hair detail that is totally a different color from the area around the grease and totally flat in the grease area. And while the coin has great luster it has a big scratch just off the portrait. I still like it though.

1977 quarter with a type "d" reverse. I recieved it recently in change and
treasure it.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.
For US coins, a 1806 half dollar scrubbed with Ajax, has an unsuccessful hole attempt, counterstamped "JT". Picked it up on Ebay for $86, I think it is great!
I've got a whole desk drawer full of those. They're called "pop-machine money". Recently I've gotten bunches of 1965 quarters in change. Never a 64. Stinking collectors.

The latter is not a bad looking coin for a Shield Nickel, but by definition, it's a Shield Nickel, so you know it's ugly.
