    The infamous Churchill crown - minted by the gazillions and worth about $2.

    Some here will call it the world's ugliest coin. Their opinion of course.

    I believe ajaan is looking for an MS68 example.

    If you squint your eyes real tight, Churchill kinda looks like "the man in the moon!!" image Of course, I've had a few beers! image

    I'll have to agree with the "man in the moon" comment as its probably the only reason I picked it up. At first I thought someone had been carving on it in Hobo Nickel fashion until I spotted maybe two or three more.

    Interesting technique on the reverse. Very interesting!

    Thanks for the help!

    I'll settle for a certified MS67 example Gene.
