What the heck happened to those?

 

1st one looks like a concrete scraper,but could be just a pocket piece.

2nd one not 100% certain.maybe a vise squeeze.but never seen one

3rd one I and others believe it is lathe marks from the initial die making.pretty cool

 

I wish I had saved my garbage disposal Buffalo...it was so bad you couldn't see the date after that evil coin eating machine ate it!!

 

I like it, now you need a LG. date to match it.

 

I'd consider taking that off your hands. I love CUDS.

 

I have more than a few that will fit in this thread.

 

Here's one ugly bugger that I saved from the street cleaner......

Mercury Dime vs Brillo Pad



Why do people clean coins?

 

I got this really cheap, you can see why.



and of course this silver 3 cent

 

Here is one that I still like. I just wish it had not been cleaned first.
