Mutilated Coin

I love it. 1971 Washington Quarter

 

1946 dime

obverse worn, reverse, well....

 

Well, I guess I need to find a corroded zinclon, run it over a few times, take a sledge hammer to it, and then cut pieces of it off. That should do it!

 

As long as you can make out the date....

 

Can I use a sharpie to write it back on if things get too out of hand :devil:

 

Hey Silentnviolent, I have seen better looking tree rings at Yosemite, CA.

How do you know this is a 1946 dated dime ? Looks to be about three milllion years old judging by the rings. :>)

 

Yeah. where's the date on that one SilentViolent? wheres the beef?

@elijahHenry10 you can do whatever you want to it but its gotta have the actual date. "Just because the cat has her kittens in the oven doesn't make them biscuits."

 

Haha, never heard that one before, I must say.

 

I looked it up its a Polish proverb.

 

Lol, the date is on the obverse.... :goofer:

The date is visible, just on the less mutilated (and less interesting) side. Here's both pics together:

 

I stand corrected my good man. :thumb:

 

Me too !

 

Received this quarter in change, and it holds a special place in my collection:

 

This doesn't qualify because there is no date, but I found this nickel in a coin counter reject tray.

 

here is a 2000 lincoln cent i picked up in change bout 2 weeks ago

 

So what do we got here!

A Jefferson forehead, a melted penny, a bizarre dime, 2 special quarters and a bent,cleaned & damaged. Keep em comin' the mutilation has just gotten started..
