    So, let's liven things up a bit and post some fun and wacky looking coins and/or tokens - errors, weird designs, unusual shapes, funking colors, etc. I'll start.....

    Many of you have seen this one before, but I think it's pretty darn wacky!

    Here's mine.

    Last year, my son got a job helping move a car smasher in an auto junkyard. Underneath the smasher was over $800 in bent change, 13 bucks silver. They also found two bent rings and a smashed pistol.

    This is what I got out of it.:hail:

    In a small hoard of these coins I bought were 5 identical grease jobs. It is a BU 1960- D/D sm.date/large date DDO and RPM-1960D-1mm-100, FS-1c-25.5.

    Someday, I will send them off :(

    I spotted this one and just had to have it. When was the last time you saw a medal depicting the floorplan of a prison?

    Not Wednesday here, but I want to play too :D

    Some kind of odd chemical toning on this one. Also been suggested that it has been contaminated some how.

    Forger’s reverse die of sestertius
    mid 2nd century AD – AE or PB? 53.5g, 35x6mm
    four-tiered pyre topped by facing quadriga
    CONSECRATIO, SC in retrograde

    type of RIC 315, 1266 (Antoninus Pius); 333, 1511 (Lucius Verus); 441, 662 (Marcus Aurelius)

    ex Dmitry Markov New York Sale XI, unsold

    When a counterfeiter prepared his dies, he could either engrave them himself, in a style easily be distinguishable from official mint issues, or he could use a genuine, mint issued host coin. He would then impress this design into a piece of bronze and affix it to the iron die-shaft. This object likely represents a counterfeiter’s first attempt, a practice strike in lead.
