How did this become a question?

OK. It's Friday in Texas. Is this dreck? I'm still trying to work out the definition.

ECHOES, if it weren't for that spot on E of Quarter, I'd agree!

Some of the above stuff is just common and inexpensive. I think those are "widgets". I believe to qualify as "dreck" the coin must be ugly, cleaned, and/or overgraded.

dadams · April 12, 2019 8:25PM

Ugly

Can we get some consensus on this?

I've always considered "Dreck" to be an over graded coin or one with "problems."

It's a term used when you want to thumb your nose at someone's coin. The greater your arrogance and lack of compassion, the greater amount of dreck there is in the world!

A common coin = "widget."

JedPlanchet · May 10, 2019 3:38AM

I agree with the dreck vs widget definition. As a mainly widget cent collector, some of my key coins are dreck, like this one:

You could post most any commem. So here is one that I don't think I have ever posted.

Slowly giving away as part of the Great American Coin Hunt. Wish I could find something, though!

I have a different understanding of 'Dreck'
I don't think the coin must be ugly, cleaned, and/or overgraded
But rather, just common and inexpensive examples, such as the SBA's in the OP.
