<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3280322, member: 15588"]Oh the humanity! What could possibly have inspired this desecration? This is probably the worst looking cent I've seen that's still recognizable as an entire cent. I'm not sure if it was sandblasted, jack-hammered or whatever else but this cent has seen more prosperous days. I think that's an outline of a Memorial barely visible on the reverse, but this monstrosity was found in a pile of IHC and wheat cents dating from 1886 - 1958. I feel that it deserves special recognition for the abuse it suffered. If it wasn't a Memorial cent, then hopefully it wasn't a 1909-s or a 1955 dbl die. We will likely never know, because you can't unboil an egg, as they say.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/Mangled01Obv.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/Mangled01Rev.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
