Harshly cleaned
Boy, that thing took a beating! Looks like a glacier retreated over it.
Geez, I have some good examples, but, none top that one!
Now that's what I would call a slider....
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Error coin....What did the mint do to it?
How about this?
Yikes
That 1909-S has lunar surfaces.
It's an 09-S VDB, BTW.
Eh, I'd call the OP's coin cabinet friction.
Ouch.
Well, for collectors on these boards it really is. For Ebay, this is a "choice", "rare", "Gem".
You know in the movies when the hero is tied up on an assembly line and at the end is a big machine that is cutting and smashing everything...then he barely escapes with a second to spare? This coin did not escape that.
I never find anything that CHOICE walking back to my car at TARGET.
You guys are breaking my heart!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
When looking for key date Seated Quarters on eBay, you know, just to look, I have a great laugh. They’re doozies.
Run over by road graders, re-engraved in awful detail renditions, plugged, burned, etc.
Even 10 foot poles wouldn’t touch them with 10 foot poles.
But yeah, that Walker is roached.
This is the result when a novice tries to remove a coin from a slab.
It wont CAC
HAPPY COLLECTING
That '21 was in a bad spot in the parking lot...for a while....Cheers, RickO
Maybe not a 'key' but this is a 191x - S

Great thread! That Gobrecht is comical and tragic at the same time
Where did you get that? It is such a shame that someone did that and I wonder where the eagle is. How much Is a gobrecht in that shape even worth?
But... they didn’t have parking lots back in 1921.
Ouch! This thread is painful to watch...

Oh my !!!
Kind of reminds me of someone who posted extreme closeups of cents and had major pareidolia.
Picked it up in Milwaukee about 15 years ago. I don't know what anything is worth anymore? It is a great conversation piece and I enjoy it. I think the fellow I bought it from cut it out and gave the eagle to his wife or girlfriend, Just my guess. It is probably on a necklace somewhere. I'd like to have a chance to buy it.
The Gobrecht Dollar in the custom holder has to be the worst, but this 1848 CAL. has to be a close second. I admit to having posted this a few times.
Here it is!
Just fooling. This is a virtual cut-out I did a few years ago for an exhibit.
Finally a Gobrecht I might be able to afford
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Still very cool!

Not mine, but I attended the auction. Worst known 1792 disme. But what a lowball!

Wow, I am sorry that I even clicked on this thread.
My stomach aches.

The Gobrecht wins. Period.
I have a parking lot 1877 Indian cent somewhere, but it hardly seems worth finding it after that.

Altered surfaces
I once had a 1909 s Indian cent that was heavily corroded (metal detector find) but not as bad as that 14 d Lincoln.
Looks like the next parking lot error.
You ever want to let that ugly Gobrecht dollar go just let me know I'll take it off your hands. Gobrecht dollars are my favorite coin, and I'll collect them in any condition. This would be the worst I've ever seen but who knows there could be something that beats this somewhere out there believe it or not lol. Very cool though. I'm jealous of the holder for sure though.
If it grades it’s definitely a Au details obverse scratch.
Sadly I own this 1914 D LWC which has been sitting in an album for at least sixty years. It was an inherited album so I have no idea how it ended up like this.

This post affected me so much that I stopped viewing it, posted, and got the heck out!

I used to have a heavily corroded '14-D cent. About the only thing that was distinct was the date.
I have an 1822 dime with two bends across the date making it hard to discern the date.
I recently saw a 1796 half dime in startlingly nice AU condition with a large hole.
Coolest idea for a thread in awhile. Cool posts

Most coin collectors do not have, and never will have a genuine Gobrecht Dollar (Including me). At least you have one! I had a chance to buy an 1844 half cent (Proof only issue), one time that looked like a train ran over it. It would be fun to know the history of the coins shown.
I would still challenge my 1909-S VDB as being the worse or the worse.
