    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I haven't seen a thread anywhere on damaged coins. I seem to find quite a few of them. Here are 2 that I found particularly interesting. Just thought I'd share them.

    This should be a fun thread ;D, here's one i recently found. Looks like someone used sandpaper all over it xD.'
    Be cool if these coins could tell us how they got this damage!

    I agree. Makes you wonder sometimes.

    I have looked through about 17,000 pennies. This is one of the worst I have ever seen.

    Some (certainly not all) damaged coins just have added character, I think.
