    mintage of only 80,590​

    Clear date, low mintage, enough details to be a keeper...and it looks like it's been in the pockets of every horror movie victim ever.

    Post your best horribly mangled coin (if you want; I thought it would be fun.)

    What's more horrifying than a fake?

    Contemporary counterfeit 1874 Half Dollar made out of non metal. Feels more like a poker chip.

    Haha reminds me of my gold French 100 Franc I posted about a month or two ago that people said looked like a zombie (due to the lighting position.)

    I think the blurriness of the photo adds to the scariness lol.

    The error and variety forum have had some of the scariest nightmares I have seen in a while.

    I believe there’s some doubling at the center of the coin...

    How about a dryer coin found in circulation. It's in a dime 2x2. 20180702_231429.jpg 20180702_231327.jpg

    ok fellow coin collectors, time to bring out a tissue and cry about the damage of a wonderful coin. It's junk I know but can't bring myself to throw it away or drill a hole and make it a key fob. So I'll hang onto it for another 30 years (as I have already) and let you see a TRUE Horror story. My guess is it was burned (house fire? Barn fire?) and then some clown tried to put a replacement back on the reverse and did a TERRIBLE job. The man I bought it from said "Ok I'll sell it, it's trash or treasure, I don't know." I know it's trash but it's Friday 13th material. Now wipe your eyes after weeping for the loss of a great coin.
