    That one might be hard to beat! I think it would have a good chance to win an “ugliest” contest. ;)

    Well it was circulating until my Grandmother put it into her Whitman , probably in the 50s.

    This one that I found on eBay may disagree:

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Looks like a poster child for “environmental damage”. Nice Date!!

    Sorry, but I think that one is far less hideous, due to its lovely color and superior details.😉

    But that's a Barber Nickel, isn't it?

    🤣

    Slick Rick would like this slick nik! Can you imagine how much this bought? How many people touched it, put it in their pocket? How many vending machines it went through? You know, this coin appeals to me more than a MS one.

    I've got some real crusties in my metal detecting finds folder, but alas, no pics.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    My guess is 1884 on this dug V-nickel, but may be 1894. Ugly.

    Some would consider this one ugly. Key date that's off center and a retained cud in the reverse.

    .

    Have a good day, Gary
