What's the most horrible (bad) embarassing coin you have in your collection?

GoldCoinLover

..Just for kicks and a more fun thread. What is your most embarassing, ugly, "bad" coin you have that you dislike the most? It can be slabbed, especially net graded, those are fun, or just raw, doesn't matter.

Right now it is my 1955 and 1958 nickels. Boy they look bad compared to the rest of my beautiful Jefferson nickel set.

I'll bet most people thought there was no such thing as a half dime minted in the 20th century.

Not only is this half a dime, but it's about the right size for a five-cent piece of the period- it got stretched to the aproximate diameter of a nickel when it melted. I scanned it next to another dug Merc for comparison.



That makes this the fifth half dime I've found. (One Capped Bust, three Seated Liberty, and one... Mercury!)

Well there are so many it is hard to decide.... but my 1937-D buffalo nickel is kind of embarrassing since one of the buffalo's legs is missing on the back.

I was looking through my box and found an awful black spotted gunked up 2003 Proof cent, its so bad, I do not want it. It should just be put into circulation. So if you lacka crap coin in your collection and need one to post on this thread, just PM with your address and it will be in the mail (no kidding)

Hi,

I have an French coin from 1923 with a hole in the middle, I guess it's worth about 25 cents but... it's cool looking so, I kept it.

K6AZ's "Flying Penis Cent" is the second one I've seen. The first I saw was much more skillfully done.

I guess they were a lot naughtier in the old days than we often thought. There are also the large cents with the E in CENT tooled into a U, and the "potty dollars", where Lady Liberty on a Trade dollar was re-engraved to show her sitting on a chamber pot.

I have a 1934-S Peace Dollar - PCGS AU53 which is the only thing keeping my registry set out of the top twenty.

Looking for any 1934-S Peace Dollar in an MS grade 62, 63 or 64 prefered !!

PM me if you have one !!!

My most embarassing coin is the Wisconsin Quarter in my Clad Proof Set.

That coin is not only embarassing to me, it should be to every person whom claims the state is their home!

Nope. It would be flat if that were the case. It's somewhat bowed-up. And it is so brittle that it would have shattered completely if it were hit by a train. It was obviously heated up somehow, melted and spread out a bit, then cooled off. Some time after it cooled off, it snapped in two.
