    Good heavens. That may be the ugliest coin on the planet.

    That's what happens when you cross an idiot and a coin...

    All the coins above aren't ugly. They are damaged. The only truly ugly coin I've seen is this one:

    LIBERTY looks like she's seen a ghost

    You are right! Now that is ugly.

    I agree. I'll volunteer to give it a good home. Even ugly coins need a place to live...

    I have this 1880-CC coming back from PCGS right now in a genuine holder w/ UNC Details. It was in a GSA holder w/ just a bit of environmental damage. Must have been in a fire!

    I showed my ex a picture of a rather worn 1793 cent and it actually scared her. She called it the "nightmare penny," lol.

    "UGLY" does not Trump Rarity.

    Really, the only truly ugly one? I find this one below to be pretty hideous in design. ;)

    Headless torso's and that flame! I look at that flame and all I see is a single fingered salute!

    Whoever was grading your coin was probably high at the time, in what world does that coin have UNC details?;)

    Actually, it does have UNC details. Just really hard to tell from the photo and even difficult to tell in hand. But the coin was submitted in an original black GSA holder that said Uncirculated Silver Dollar right on it... so it was most certainly an UNC coin before the fire and the "environmental damage" didn't change that... just muted the luster a bit ;)

    Had a customer give me this coin to get graded for him :) Funny stuff!!
