[QUOTE="krispy, post: 723359, member: 19065"]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One person's trash is another person's treasure. Hallowe'en is a beautiful time of year. It is rooted in the cyclical system of seasonal change, death and rebirth as recognized by human agricultural and astronomical observation throughout history. It is the eve of All Saints as utilized by certain faiths. Hallowe'en's modern American commercialized form promotes [I]ugliness[/I] as portrayed through horror and fear of the dead, Hollywood B-movie zombies and brutality as witnessed in society. Hallowe'en is also a modern excuse for costumed parties that spoof popular culture and revel in letting loose inhibitions (nothing wrong with that) but are completely debased from the origins of the seasonal celebration. This is not Hallowe'en but rather personal expression and a general 'joie de vivre'. Personally, no coin is 'ugly' to me and so I have none to offer in that sense. There are also a number of threads (recently active as well) on the subject of 'ugly' coins. Just have to search for them if you were looking to add to them. I'm curious to see what the OP will post as an example of an 'ugly' coin in the spirit of Hallowe'en. Happy Hallowe'en![/QUOTE]
