    Make sure you wear gloves when handling that coin, not for fear of leaving prints on it, for fear of catching something from it!!!

    Double Ugly

    Many family coins came my way that had been submerged.
    Always wondered if a water pic could help pry some of them apart.


    Anybody here ever try that?

    Anyway, this one came to me this way, it is ugly and I like it.

    (And you should see my dog!) He's ugly and I like him that way, too.:vanish:

    Large cents, when ugly, are really ugly!

    Not my personal coin, but derived from metaldetectingforum.com, there are always a ton of ugly coins found there, but this one takes the cake.

    Sorry this is about as close as I can get. It's pretty scuffed up but far from something I would consider giving up.

    I'm guessing the ground wasn't too nice on it :D

    It could also be the lighting

    My Ohio Coins

    I got some coins from relatives in Ohio.

    Strange way to store them and they turned out not to be THAT ugly.

    Lighting or lightning

    Looks like lightning, not lighting. How does a coin get turned inside out like that?
