"The Worn and Weary Coin Week!" Post Yours Also......

Okay. Here is a "strange" one for you all. It's called "The Worn and Weary Coin Week!". Coins, Tokens and medals that are Damaged, Graffitied, Worn etc...
I somehow have accumulated a bunch of these but will only show a few. Please show yours as well.....

This one is worn but still pretty cool I think.

 

I am really not a fan of heavily worn coins, but this one has 180 deg rotated dies. G4


Hey @Evan8 looks like 64' was a rough year for the US mint.

 

Oh Boy this one looks 158 years old

 

Don't grade bust halves by how many letters in LIBERTY are visible.

 

A New Brunswick One Penny Token, date worn away, but I think it has to be either 1843 or 1854.

 

This just arrived yesterday after a long vacation in Denver. VG8 isn't that worn but it's been around the block a few times. It's special as an early release of a minor change to the reverse hub type, previously unknown to exist prior to 1901 (and previously not known to exist at all prior to a BCCS discovery a couple years ago).
Finally an excuse to post a coin I've never posted here before. I got this from grandpa and have had it since I was a kid. I'm pretty sure it's 1929. Seems like Depression era coins got circulated a lot.

 

self produced My pocket piece

 

Corroded in a soap box details slab VF20, FS-906 Rev 68. Known for the broken letters on the rev, the rim to rim die crack and IDB's on the obverse are eye catching in hand.

 

LOL

 

I pulled this guy out of circulation in 2017.

 

Going thru the pics I had on my phone and saw that on one of them, i could see 1843.... yay, it's identified. Will have to post the pic tomorrow as i am on my laptop now

 

Graffiti

 

From an old folder couldn't believe they were there.

 

Hey @Evan8 are you planning on going to the Jefferson County show this weekend? It's around 80 tables. I haven't been to this one in almost 10 years.
