I posted this in another lowball gold thread recently, but looks appropriate for this thread too. A few years ago, @ianrussell posted a lowball gold set in Very Cool "Worst" U.S. Gold Type Set in Capital Plastic Holder (<--view that thread for additional pics) I think it may have even been auctioned subsequently on GreatCollections, IIRC.

Nice grouping, @Dave99B. Here's one I owned as part of my SF $5 set:

I haven't had a chance to get this one to the hosts yet

I don't have any gold that fits the criteria, but I am enjoying looking at those that are posted.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
This one was so bad our neighbor ATS wouldn't even put it in a slab for me, called it "not certifiable".
Randy Campbell certified it for me and I was able to sell it for probably twice what I would have been able to sell it for otherwise.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
This one now resides in a NGC G4 slab and fills a hole just fine until a better one comes along.

Is worn off gold gone forever? If so, we will eventually wear away all the gold in the world.
Sweet, thanks for sharing !!!
Nope, it's still around just in very dilute circumstances.
Looks like a lot of pocket pieces.... too bad..Cheers, RickO
@lkeigwin - I love your 1839-C $5. Toughie!

i think indians have a certain appeal worn down to G, or lower.

iPhone pic of a tired $2.50 1856-S I just got back from our host. Adding this old-timer to the herd.

Seriously, these old buggers are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys!
