Post your most disappointing coin!

Post your most disappointing coin. You know, the coin that would be awesome if it weren't jacked (ruined) by fate or some dim wit who holed it.

Ireland - 1939 - 1/2 Penny - Km#10 - F $10.00, VF $17.50 (That's a weird price ), XF $60.00, Unc $220.00

I've been searching for years and I carn't seem to find it in time and when I finally do I carn't seem to win it.




BTW:

This early stone age Cointalk post still haunts me:

Was that even worth incasing?

 

I didn't even get it slabbed, bought it that way for a very cheap price.

 

This one is designated improperly cleaned, but I think it's more damaged than just improperly cleaned.

But once I complete my slabbed Type Set, this will be one of the first ones I replace with a better example.

Gees! "Bent, Cleaned, Damaged" What's left to describe? Pooed Out?

It's a shame, though having it is better than not and since I don't have that date, it leaves me jealous. :devil:

 

i just happened to have posted that coin in another thread





Shes a beaut, aint she

 

Some ancients were carried in the mouth :yes:

 

God i need that MM + date...shame...

 

If you saw it in hand, you'd be surpised it was not given corrosion too!

 

Edit:There :thumb:

 

Randygeki is stunned and has no words to describe our disappointment and shame.

 

No, he is simply posting his most disappointing coin, the one he doesn't own.

Very wise young man.

Though I can't say I am disappointed them I guess

 

I have this one large cent, and if it were not worn to bits (XF-MS) , didn't have a gash in the last digit of the date, and didn't have a hole in it, I'm sure it would be money.


LOL

 

Seems like those seated liberty half dimes got the worse of things.

 

only in cointalk would you see people posting pictures of their worst coins.

 

None of my coins disappoint me. The ones that do aren't in my collection

 

Here's a really bad one I had. 1869 Greece 10 lepta. I don't know what they did to this thing but it was bent, cracked, dented and had glue on it. I received it as part of a lot I bought on eBay and got rid of it the same way.

 

This is my train wreck. Coin is darker in hand, thanks to Marshall for the attributing and such.
