It's Happy "Mutilated Monday!" PMD Coins.....

Jello all! LOL. Well, the weekend is over and we're on to Monday here in the East. I'm calling this one "Mutilated Monday"! Please post any coin that is Post Mint Damaged (PMD) or as @paddyman98 always says " No error of any kind".

Semi-key date for cheap, I'll take it.

 

Train Flattened coin. I put this on the tracks back in the early 50's.

 

In hand, the scratch across her bust is there, but not as noticeable as in the pic.

 

I don't see how "Happy" can be used to reference mutilated coins ..
It's more like sad

Anyway, Here is a quarter that I metal detected this past Saturday. Someone hit it with a blunt object to alter it



Not a Mint Error of any kind unfortunately

 

A 1854 large cent. From the days of steel covered wagon wheels.

 

For whatever reason it appears someone didn´t like the image of this King.

1823 bust half, removed from jewelry?


Connecticut colonial copper, no idea what happened to it but sheesh!

Overdate bust, "well-circulated" I'll say

I think I might have finally figured this slick Morgan out! 1896-...S? Maybe not S? Not sure if it would straight grade, but it's definitely my P-O-O'est of P-01 candidates

 

Q. Cassius Longinus, Rome, 55 BC. AR Denarius (17mm, 3.60g). Head of Bonus Eventus (or Genius Populi Romani?) r.; sceptre behind. R/ Eagle standing r. on thunderbolt; lituus to l., capis to r. Crawford 428/3; RBW 1535; RSC Cassia 7. Large scratch on rev.

 

First coin I ever bought that was slabbed. I call her cut throat.

 

I see so many I just ignore them but here’s a few.

 

This is a zinc cent that I found in a barn garage with a dirt floor.

 

Here's one I would like to own. It's a Twenty Cent Piece that marked up to avoid having it pass as a quarter.



I had a chance to own one of these for $20 when I was young collector in New Jersey, 50 years ago. Unfortunately I passed.

I ruined this piece by cleaning it with strong chemicals when I was a kid, about 11 years old. Then I stored it in an envelop with lots of sufur.

 

Got this one in change at the ice cream parlor in the mid-70s. Run over by a Model T I guess.

 

I think that it's more likely that it was dug out of the ground.

 

Why??

 

This is what you call mutilated!
Metal detected Kennedy Half Dollar

 

I don't know - maybe this one is a rare mint error!!! jk
