Do you have an ugly coin that you still love?

This thing has been through the ringer, but I still love it. One of my favorite designs by the U.S. Mint.

I will play,

Found this on June 1st in a roll of nickels while working one afternoon. Normally only war nickels catch my eye. I took a second look at this one because it seemed so coroaded from being under ground. Seems to have circulated a bit after. It's my first and only 1950-D rescued from the wild.

 

First coin I ever bought with my dad. The date is worn off and she's very ugly but I was so excited to get it with my spare change. My dad's been gone a long time and I'd love to explain the story to my kids once they're older.

 

It's kind of ugly depending on who you ask and not really a coin, but she's mine and I love her like Whitney loved coke.

 

I can see why that got a straight grade, Love it!!

No coins, but I do have a medal.

I call this "the NO STEP Nickel"

 

They are ugly right now BUT when the resto is done they will be much much better.

1858 Large Letters
1864 Copper Nickel
1908-S

 

My final ugly one for tonight. I have plenty of ugly ones. It makes me appreciate the beauties when I can keep them.

 

My type set would probably make you want to cry...

 

Snow 16, misplaced date.

 

I thought that as well but it's in the wrong place. I'm not sure what it is.

 

love these especially the 1802 obverse, just awesome

 

TBH, I know nothing about these cents. I'm guessing another variety to learn about?

 

It doesn't command much of a premium, but Google it and you'll find that the internal for break is a clear indicator of Snow 16. The are date digits punched into the eagle neck.
