Ok, it's not beat half to death or anything, but this is the dirtiest coin I've ever bought. The only reason I bought it was because I loved the design and had never seen this particular piece or subject matter in coin form before:

Too bad I sold my Walker that had been whizzed and dipped to death. It looked like someone was experimenting on it. The coin dealer thought it was hilarious when he pulled it out of the ziplock bag full of silver I sold him.

 

After much examination, I have concluded that the date is probably 1910 (unsure whether or not there was a mintmark at one point). Then again, it is so far gone. I could just be imagining that that date is there . Either way, this was an interesting CRH find! Pulled it from a roll just a couple weeks ago. :thumb:

This 64-D quarter took a beating, probably from someone who was trying to make a ring out of it.

 

Very interesting! It almost looks like a die cap w/ numerous ragged planchet clips. Hahaha!

i've been gathering up all my damaged coins to make a PDM thread. guess I waited too long i'll post my pictures in the morning

 

I wonder how much I could get for it on eBay?

 

Beat up Roosies.

 

Beat up silver and wheaties? I can't look!

 

Here's a civil war token that I found metal detecting. I didn't take a picture of the reverse, but it looks pretty similar (says 'Our Navy'). I do think I've identified it though.

 

Gotta love this quarter I received in change:

 

here's an 1859 indian head cent that has had a hard life

 

That Washington has had more of its fair share of run ins with well...everything including the kitchen sink.

 

Let's see before & after pictures

I'm surprised that nobody has attempted to restore any of these coins to their original condition.

 

this was my last ebay coin purchase. i dont like buying from ebay but for some crazy reason i wanted this one and how many liberty caps are 60 bucks? ive been lazy on trying to figure out which sheldon it is.

 

I used to have a 18th century large cent that looked like it had been run over by a train. Wish I knew where it was...

This coin came in a couple of pounds of world coinage.

 

Here are 2 trainwrecks of key date lincolns.

 

Well, here's my trainwreck and she's a beauty! Abe's looking a little worn out these days. This actually looks like it was run over by a train, so I guess it fits in this thread.

I wouldn't call the 1914 a trainwreck
