Most jacked-up coin contest thread W/Rules!!!!!

Ok I've been wanting to create this thread for awhile now....As numismatists we all seem to have a stroke of luck of finding a coin on the ground albeit not a ASE or morgan etc. as we all wish to find on our streets/roads. This thread is for the coins we find and are barley legible; let alone spendable. The Rules:
1.) The coin has to be of minting in the U.S.A hence here in the U.S. Coin Forums.
2.) The coin can be of any denom. of any era/pattern.
3.) The COIN MUST HAVE BEEN FOUND. I.E. with a metal detector, just walking in your neighborhood, in a swimming pool, digging in your garden what-have-you.
4.) The coin has to be of the POOREST grade in your collection. From being slabbed to loose rattling around in a spare change tin.
5.) The coin has to be spendable... This one needs explaining: Basically it has to be of the poorest quality but still be recognizable as legal tender so as a convenience store clerk would still accept it.

This thread is to honor how the circulation process goes horribly array and what, let alone where (I don't even want to know), our currency goes through just to end up in our pockets.

My first contribution is coming soon in next few days when I get batteries for my camera....

Take your pick.... yuck. And thanks for motivating me to clean out the cupholder in the car.

 

You made me chuckle when I read this because I did find an ASE walking in my neighborhood and in the street! In a pile of garbage thrown away! With the COA!
Not the worst condition coin I have but I just had to share! Looking through my metal detected coins now!

 

I find myself in agreement with the thread title, and yet look forward to seeing what gets posted.

 

Boy, I wish I had a 1836 $5 Gold Lib in my change cup in my car.

 

It might look ugly but it all spends and it cost you nothing to pick it up. But why are you hiding that 1836?

 

I think he has it under that beaut of a 1972 half so the light hits it just right to show of the amazing luster in the picture.

 

It is a $2 1/2, and I just thought I would throw it in for giggles. It isn't the best grade, but it is a whole lot nicer than what I pulled out of the car!

 

I don't have a metal detector, swimming pool or a garden, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

I'm very close to the beaches of the Treasure Coast. I wish I had my old stamina. If I did, I'd get a metal detector to comb the beaches. Gold and silver coins, as well as jewels are still washing up on the beaches to this day, especially after storms.

 

You can't really see it well from this angle, but dangling from the rear view mirror is a coin. So far no one has posted a more jacked up anything. I win, right?

 

If the predictions are solid, in another 40 years, you ( or future family) can dive down to the coin stores and bullion dealers and bring up the same from displays.

 

I have the winner, give me 5min to photo and post.

 

That can be done now. http://www.melfisher.com/default.html There is a museum/shop about 4 miles from me.

 

Highly doubt that

 

I think this is a 1984 DDO, found in parking lot. So sad

 

How about an ugly WAM

 

Did my first try with metal detecting a few weekends ago, with my brother-in-law and his metal detector. Found nothing but junk metal cans and such, and also rusty nails. But I must admit, that it was fun, and fairly good exercise.

We tried the grounds around an old farmhouse with the owners permission, and at some other future time, we intend to metal detect some other sites perhaps with better possibilities of success.
