Isn't this the design of which a reviewer of the day said "looks like her hair is in a fright"? But I think the cheeziest part is the abbreviation of "AMERI." Couldn't they spring for the "CA"?
This is what the new Zinc Cent (Zincolns) looks like when you pluck them out of the beach with a Metal Detector.. These are just a few. I have about 150 of these!
Found this Buffalo a month or so ago. I scrubbed it with a dish scrub pad for a while, to see if I could get a date off of it, but the corrosion was too strong.
Also found this sweet 1945 P silver nickel about a month ago. The silver is delaminating. Nice! It actuallly spent a couple of weeks in my nickel album until I stumbled across a normal looking one.
I love them all. So beautiful and special.You know what,I think I'll foster all the unwanted coins and set up a site call it " Adopt a coin ".They aint just for xmas y'know.[emoji56]
Yes that is a 14d. Found it at age 12 and wasn't sure if it was a 's' or 'd' because all I had was my dad's magnifying glass. It wasn't until recently that it was confirmed as a 'd'. As you said, it is "ugly" but many of my collection coins fall into that category.
