Message:: [QUOTE="foreverEBG, post: 2238512, member: 73517"]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....[/QUOTE]
