Same tradition as previous "Ugly Coin" giveaways, but with a twist.

Here's the ugly coin:

image

Complete the caption: "wybrit's coin is so ugly..."

The person who does the WORST job completing the caption wins the ugly coin.

The person who IMO best completes the caption wins this much nicer piece, an 1845 farthing in gVF:

image

Let's have fun!



Winners:

Best response: Zulan (by a nose!) Congratulations, you win the farthing!!image

Worst response: drthunder ("Geico??" Where's the originality, man??) image

Plus two surprises (coins, not to worry) will be on their way to:
laserart - for Most Persistent Poster, and
eureka - for coming close!

Congratulations to all the winners and commiseration to drthunder!! Please PM me your addresses.

Thanks to everyone for playing. It was a blast.
