if only this quarter could talk

found this in a roll of quarters. Pretty cool looking so I thought Id share it.

It's like a train wreck, you don't want to see it, but you just can't look away!

That's one of those coins that has 'character'...

 

Looks like that quarter has had a tough life. LOL

 

exactly, and thats why I decided to keep it, just because its different

 

I really like that one. I keep a "special" box just for stuff like that, train wrecks. I've got some doozies and that one would have a special place in that box.

 

Is that "strike doubling?" ha ha...

 

It would seem this error would be called "beat to crap" lol

 

Will someone start a "show us your trainwrecks" thread? I'm not sure if I have anything to contribute, but it would be a fun thread to read!

 

That there is one of them BU coins .......................Butt Ugly

 

That quarter's got some tough circumstances. Ugly, battered, and born one year after it would still be considered desirable

 

If that quarter could talk it would say, "Would someone PLEASE get me out of the street!"

 

well its got a home now! No more of it needing to be in the street lol.

 

i like the idea of an ugly find thread

 

I used to repair quarters. A few taps with a hammer and a few rasps with a file and they'd be fit to pass through a coin counter again. Most heavily damaged coins just get tossed in the trash and this never seemed right. If they'll go through a vending machine they'll even circulate.

 

It looks like one of those quarters that sits on the sidewalk and asks you if you have any spare change.

 

If that quarter could talk it would still be screaming Ouch!!!

 

I like it, Cladking!...quarter repairman!

 

A quarter was worth a lot more in those days.

I couldda made good money if I had access to enough of them but it was just a few here and a few there.

Municipalities generated this junk by the barrelfull and after everything else was gone there were always a few bent and mangled coins left.

 

It really does look a lot like my work; tap, tap, scritch, scritch and good as new.

 

It has a minor rim ding that would keep it from grading a MS 67. Real shame...
