Post a beat-up coin or a San Antonio Missions quarter?

Nothing wrong with a straight graded P01. 👍🏻
How can they even determine date?

Yes it does!
The 798 is visible if you look closely.
@OAKSTAR ... That quarter looks like - - - well, something disgusting occurred

I throw it back!
Don't ask, I don't know what it is. Maybe tar. 😫

Acetone is your friend @OAKSTAR

I’ve taken to throwing coins with similar tarry looking junk on them into the bottom of my washing machine when I get home. Especially ones I get from the corner convience store that’s a block from where I’m living. I always check my change when I go there and have recently found a lot of gemmy looking new uncirculated coins, which I save for my albums, but also a bunch of older coins with similar splotches of tarry gooey stuff. Me and my wife half-jokingly call them black tar fentanyl coins because of those internet rumors that have been going around recently. But I have taken to putting them in the washing machine when they have that gunk on them. In all seriously, I think it has something to do with people emptying out large coin jars into coin stars which is putting a lot of funky coins back into circulation.

While circulation hurts, parking lots and roads kill coins, but they seem to sprout. I just found these while taking the dog on a walk.

What do you think this coin would grade?
Circulation Kills!!.............Ouch!
With one exception........P0-1's in my opinion. I believe (in many cases) a straight graded P0-1 adds value to the coin. However, the coin's date must be ID'ed.
Well, this, for me at least, is an exception to that rule. ANACS only certified a few No Date examples in the small slabs, and of those, how many are toned?
You're exactly right! I would have bought that coin in a second just for that small soap bar slab!! 👍
You should see some of my other toned soap boxes.
I'm afraid to ask. You call them soap boxes?? Hmmm, okay. I thought they were soap bars. People use both terms?
Not from circulation, but "gone bad" merely from the fact that it's made of iron. The CSS Virginia token (The first Confederate ironclad) was made from iron recovered from the hull.
This one has not gotten any worse since I bought it many years ago. That was not the case with a certified one Steve Hayden offered in his last auction. The piece had rusted more in the holder.
I'd like to get a better one, but it's just not in the cards.
This piece was listed as a Civil War Token until it was noted that it was made circa 1905 and therefore not from the era.
I use both sometimes interchangeably. Why? I’m difficult.
ouch
I would think FR2, too much detail for poor IMO.

I was thinking P0-1. That's why I was asking but you're probably right.
Nice Trade $ @AlanSki 👍 👍

How about this one. Don’t you just hate it when you come across these. I don’t even know what causes it.
P.S. @OAKSTAR , why are you now OAKSTAR in jail? Ha ha!

I have the worst stinkin' luck!!
And now it’s time for Guess The Mintmark! Is it a W? Probably, though we’ll never know.
P.S. @OAKSTAR , last time I posted on this thread, I had no idea that you were actually in jail. I really thought that you changed your profile picture to add bars on purpose! I am sorry for the miscommunication. I imagine that you were rather displeased with me getting a laugh out of that when you saw it.

No problem whatsoever! I'm just happy I brought a smile to your face. Just glad to be back.
That quarter hurts me!
I as well.
