<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sunflower_Coins, post: 3179331, member: 92388&quot;]I have a lot of damaged coins that don&#039;t mean much to me, either because I found them or come in a lot I purchased. However, this quarter will always be a part of my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b565/Futchi97/IMG_8090_zpsey5wipxw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I found this seated quarter in my backyard when I was eight. It was back behind the chicken coop on the old farm I grew up on in rural Kansas. It may be scratched to heck, but it is the coin that started this whole journey for me, and I wouldn&#039;t trade it for a double eagle. (As if I could anyway)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well then why are you even on this thread? The title is pretty obvious that it&#039;s for people who have damaged coins they still like. With as many collectors as there is, people will have all kinds of different tastes in coins-even ruined ones. I think it&#039;s pretty pretentious to come here and say other people&#039;s coins are worthless. They definitely aren&#039;t worth a lot in sense of dollars and cents, but if a collector feels better for owning one, who are you to judge? The graffiti and post stamps on older US Coins are signs of 150+ years of use, and have as much historical importance as the coin itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are welcome to your opinion, I just don&#039;t see the reason why you had to come here and shout it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
