Is this a trick question??
Honestly? Very poor judgment.
Unless you got those silver dollars for far less than melt, I would ask WHY?

Depends on the price. Depends on what makes you happy.
These would not make me happy unless they are well below melt.
I may be missing something. Does PCGS have a Fugly registry now? Or are these fakes?
Are you starting to collect pocket pieces?

I get the low ball value for the two, but not sure about the 22 Peace.
I am putting together a set of the fugliest coins I can find- mostly problem free as far as dents; digs; cuts; holes; deep scrapes and whatnot. I know it when I see it. I am actually slightly embarrassed by some of the coins I've picked up the last few months that fit this criteria- some are truly hideous. These three haven't arrived yet and wanted to pass them by you all. I seriously thank you for your time and attention.

@braddick I remember you going after lowballs before they were "a thing". Is this a sign of things to come?
If your going for fugly, you win!!
I like the first and third.

Agree. The first a third have an interesting, artsy look to them.
They are very befitting while I'm watching the Walking Dead
The first one I've titled, "Black Eye Beauty". I doubt PCGS will recognize this on the insert though. . .

Not my cup of tea but if you are happy that's all that matters.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Braddick is a respected hand and knows what he's doing.
If he likes these coins, then I do too!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
That '23 Peace dollar is spooky

You could call the third Parking Lot Vagrant
UH! Only a mother would love them.
The second one was slabbed. Curious as to how it did (or didn't) grade.

If collecting these coins is what you want... go for it.

If I were to make a stab, I would say that these were the best coins available on Ebay during a one week period.
I think it's a "banable" offense for posting such hideous items here
Hey. Those look like coins that @SeattleSlammer has been buying
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
That 22 Peace is ms62? Wow! Looks like rust to me, is that considered toning? I don't even like it as a fugly coin!...Thanks rln
I almost bought the 22 when the seller dropped the price after several years. If the red toning is a little redder and the underneath is a little golder than the pics show, could be a nicer coin than it looks.
Why would someone be entitled to silver well below melt just because of appearance? Silver is still silver and once refined is indistinguishable from a 99.9999 fine bar.
I'm kind of into that first Peace dollar

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I never would have bought any of those.

I like the first and last but not the middle. Don't care for the toning.
Wonder if the 2000 cent was sanded or something, I can't imagine how it would have gotten that way otherwise. I would still be happy to have it.
It's actually too nice for one of my side collections.
Wow, the stories those could tell.
1TwoBits
Yes, they do. Lowball sets.
There is no right answer. If they make you happy - good job! IF you now regret it - bad idea. If you're not sure and asking us...you have too much money.
seriously?
did you pay below face value?

Dang... you got smoe UGLY coins! sounds like fun project though.

It's a shame you don't have a brick and mortar dealer in your area. Most any dealer who has been in business for a while accumulates items like this that they would love to unload. You could make the dealer happy and save yourself the postage by buying these items from them.
The 1923 Peace Dollar has silver corrosion and would not get a straight grade. It would not qualify for the “poorest graded with no problems” registry.
The 1922 Peace Dollar has unattractive toning despite the fact that it is certified. It may have developed that toning after it was slabbed because of an improper rinse after a dip.
The 2000-D cent either spent some time getting runover in a parking lot, or it was gone over with an abrasive which removed the copper coating and layer of design detail.
if your goal is fugly.......you have it surrounded
I love the 2000 D cent.

I'd go easier on the hard liquor or psychedelic or "recreational" drugs while you are bidding in the future.
Good job, tommy. Let's hope that keeps him from hunting us all down.
If you want these steel cents, pm me your address and they are all yours.
Nothing I would spend my money on but one mans junk another’s gems.
