Insane!

Not only that, but the 3 Cent Nickel is clearly the ugliest regular issue U.S. coin ever minted.

There, I said it!

Jeremy, you have posted that pic before & it is always a pleasure to see it again. What is it about really crappy coins that makes them so endearing??

Hey, all 1872's are worthy of slabbing and preserving for future generations!!

Why would someone bother to slab this coin?

I guess the same reason people slab common bullion like silver and gold SEs. An incredible 19,898 MS69 2003 $50 Gold Eagles have been slabbed, along with 7,228 MS69 2003 SAEs. I'll never understand why people waste money grading all this bullion.
