The graphics and GIFs for these contests are awesome. :)
Love seeing the field shot! Keep it beepin'!
British or Australian large penny. As @PaddyB mentioned, it is too large to be a halfpenny. Since both say ONE PENNY on the reverse, why is...
Man, that's gotta be the squishiest strike I've seen on a Mint State 20th century coin.
Yep. That's a woody.
This.
Good on you, @Curtisimo. PM sent.
Rather an ornate 19th century pocket watch, is my guess. Obviously dug, from the corrosion of the metal, but really neat looking. I've dug some...
Interesting damage, but damage nonetheless.
When I was in Mexico in '86, I bought a replica statue bust of Moses from a street vendor (the guy was literally standing in the middle of the...
Here's my ugly coin for the turkey contest. 1875 Indian cent. First one I ever found while detecting. It doesn't look like much, but I was...

Conterstamps like this were definitely popular around the time of the Bicentennial, and were widely advertised in magazines around that time. I...
Yep. Enviro damage, ground find. Looks like hundreds I've dug while detecting. Same with the '92-P coin.
I don't think AU is unreasonable. Cleaned, as mentioned, but not awful. Looks like it has pretty close to a Full Head, as well? Nice coin,...

Well, now that's interesting. My best guess is to completely agree with @-jeffB's assessment. The incuse, backward lettering is the result of a...
I did wonder if it was a button, which was the main reason I wanted to see the reverse. Now I wonder if it's gold or just gilt, but either way,...
I believe @cpm9ball was hatin' on the coin, not the member. While the editorial use of the "crappy" adjective in his commentary was unnecessary,...
Separate names with a comma.
