That picture made laugh so hard inside.

 

Not funny! People may have died!

Ya know Taylor? I thought of that myself, after I posted the pic, but I don't think so. If you'll notice, all off the passanger cars remained in the upright position. If they had been turned over I think that dreadfull injuries might have been incured. Still, you make a valid point.....albeit not coin related, but heck, neither was mine.....

 

Thanks green for pointing that out! I see know that they were lucky!

This was the first large cent I ever bought. Think it was $5. You don't see that it is shaped like a cup as well as the holes and polishing. Sitting with Penny Whimsy, Photoshop and a scanner, I was able to attribute this as a 1807/6 Sheldon 3A Large Cent. There were enough traces of Liberty, the date and the legend on the reverse to make that ID. Would be a fun topic to see the worst coin you can find but still attribute..

nice! lol!

Beat up coins? Yeah, I think this qualifies.

 

One of my latest eBay acquisitions (maybe I should post it in one of the "new acquisition" threads):



But, hey, it was $14.36 shipped. I've been meaning to weigh it, but even ground down and drilled out, it's still at least $20 worth of silver -- and a good conversation piece.

 

Here is a picture of one of my Indian head cents

 

Man...

Sorry to post twice maybe these pictures are a little clearer.

 

That's actually pretty cool. :thumb:

 

Does this qualify? I thought that they only made waffle coins out of trainwrecks!

 

Wow. I was going to show a beat up large cent but it's not bad enough. I'll keep looking.

Seem to have "misplaced" some of my coins. Here are some I found

Half cent? front and back.


Poor George

 

Not a total train wreck but I wasn't proud enough of it to post it in any other thread. Thought we had found a keeper but the reverse pretty much wrecks it for the whole coin.

 

Yeah!:yes:
That reverse is pretty bad!Though, it is still a great coin!

My trainwreck penny

This is the most worst penny I've seen! I didn't make the coin look like this!
