Would this PCGS coin qualify as one of the ugliest known in GEM?

One of my fun (well, that's subjective: I should add, fun for me) side collections are PCGS coins in MS65 or better that are truly hideous coins. I think I found that "perfect" Franklin half. Your thoughts? Ugly, or will I be disappointed to discover the coin looks better than the seller's photos? (The reverse is mostly brilliant.)

That is one ugly coin. Congratulations!

You suck. You really suck

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 think it had nice luster at one time.
You should send it off for one of those cac stickers lol
PS I have some hideous gem morgans in PCGS holders if your ever interested. Nothing special just common date serious butt ugly 65s.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

I agree. That is one ugly coin.
I bet it looks better in-hand

Nice original Half.
While it is not much to look at, for some reason I sort of like it.
Imagine how happy he will be if it’s even uglier

i'm going to hold on to the possibility that it is a moose that is inadequately imaged. :P

I am always surprised at some of what I consider fugley common Morgans that have made it into PCGS MS65 plastic. I have learned you have to be careful - some of these coins are for sale on eBay,
you all are rude... its what is below the surface, right?

Buy the coin not the holder. Lol. I like it.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
The original owner perhaps had it wrapped in newspaper for over 40 years?
How's the back-bacon look? This was just a full frontal?

Not sure the coin could look worse.

How in the heck is this a 65? Or is that the joke? A terrible coin made it into a 65? Thanks rln
I'll give you 5020959088905 dollars for it!!!
Oh my, that is awful for the grade indeed. That qualifies for the DOG(tm) sticker.
finally a coin i have seen that i would dip. i bet it would grade 65+
MS-65 and butt ugly should never be terms for the same coin at the same time.

The motto that it is the coin and not the grade on the slab has never been more true than with this coin.
it may of changed in the holder. I would bet the coin looks better in hand
(it cant possibly look worse) Interesting halve.
Somewhere a table tilts off to the left.
You have greatly succeeded. That coin is FUGLY.

Without any light on the luster no doubt it's not exciting.
I'd bet it looks nice under proper lighting. Have a feeling I'd like it once I saw it in hand.
It's a 'moose' alright but not from the end you are thinking of.

You're close to hideous on this one...there must be a cousin out there with the same toning plus four or five prominent thumbprints. Probably in a 66 holder with the thumbprints.
I have seen some just as ugly, but will not link them for respect for owners/sellers.
