this coin fits so many "post your" categories, post a 1700s coin, post a half dime, post an R6 or better coin, post an "oh no, what a shame" coin, post an undervalued coin, post a toned coin, post a holey coin, post a coin in very few collections, post one of your favorite coins

I am wondering how an Ike could get worn down that much. Somebody stick it in a rock tumbler?

I don't think so. Here is another lowball Ike:

The thread title must have confused you. If you do not like that ugly coin I will take it off you hands.

Pm me on that ...

Why does Ike, with a little to much wear, turn into something you'd expect to see in Roswell?

Yikes.

This coin would have been a good candidate for the "Hardest coin to explain to your wife" thread I started here several years ago.

Definitely the OP's coin wins, but here is mine regardless:

For the money, I could have bought a nicer Julius Caesar denarius, maybe even one almost as nice as this.

But I wanted one with his portrait. Struck during his lifetime.

And this one was struck only perhaps a month or two before his assassination on the fateful Ides of March.

So, yeah, it's an ugly duckling, well worn, with some banker's marks, but this one barely squeaked in under my $500 budgetary ceiling.

And it has a reasonably clear portrait. Plus the name is clear.

So yeah- it's ugly, but it's beautiful.

This was a nice VF when her bare boob first interested an eleven yo boy in coins.
