Post a pic of your LEAST favorite coin in your collection

I would show the Churchill crown, but who wants to see that again - I'll leave it for another member to post.

I offer this instead: a crown design as dull as its predecessor. What a waste of space!!



The modern Belgian coins I have were in the running for this too but I'm too lazy to take photographs of them.

It's got to be this Italian aluminum boat rudder.

I am ashamed to admit that I too own a Churchill, obtained as part of a lot of UK stuff, and I too will refrain from polluting this thread with a picture of it. - if you are really sick enough to want to see one, there are plenty that will show up in a search

what happened to the boat? The rudder isn't much use without it...

Believe it or not, that Italian coin was one of my finalists too. Dismal design.

I hate this one because it doesn't have a date. It says Nederlands Antillen and 5c.

wybrit

Look to the left corner for the "19" and to the right for what I think might be a "57."

The Netherlands Antillies coin does have a date - the date is just hidden in the design.

You will find 19 in the left shell as pictured and the last two digits of the date will be found in the right shell.


It took me forever to find the date on the first example I owned.

Beat you, farthing!!

Hmm, that's easy. The #1 is this one.

And this one comes in second place:




----------------

Ok, so you say, "Why is the third picture in second place and not first?", well, it's really becaues of the first and second pictures story (same coin in the first and second picture). The coin shown first is a mexican coin. I went to mexico, and this mexican guy was selling mexican coins. The guy didn't speak english well, so I asked him if he had any old mexican coins and I told him I collect coins. He said no, so I continued to look though them. Most of them were in the 70's, and all grossly overpriced. Then I spotted the one above, a 1928, the coin was(is) a train wreck. But the only really old one that was there. So we bargained and I finally got him down from 10 bucks, down to 2.50 bucks. (Jeez!!)

The second one is a quarter and a penny. I found them in a car lot.

This is one of my least favorite coins, the "Ugly100bucks."

I still don't know why I bought it.

Edited to add, the obverse is nice though...

I've never seen that Canadian $100 Dollar before. That is ugly!

KM249. The scan didn't pick up all of the detail in the background, which doesn't really matter...
