    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.

    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.

    Kind of reminds me of someone who posted extreme closeups of cents and had major pareidolia.

    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.

    The Gobrecht wins. Period.

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

    I once had a 1909 s Indian cent that was heavily corroded (metal detector find) but not as bad as that 14 d Lincoln.

    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.

    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.

    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.
