<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2255700, member: 19463&quot;]I prefer not to collect ugly coins unless they have redeeming values including rarity that keep me from having a nicer example.&nbsp; Rather than typing a lot here, I&#039;ll post links to two of my pages that cover the question.&nbsp; In 1998, I posted a page showing coins I considered collectible even though they are ugly.&nbsp; Two of them are, to the best of my knowledge, unique and, therefore, the best known. Please show me photos if you see another of them.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac59ugl.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac59ugl.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac59ugl.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of the bunch, I singled out one coin on the first link above as the most common coin on that page but I consider it ugly in a nice way.&nbsp; It was hammered through with an iron nail but still has good reverse detail of the popular comet type.&nbsp; Augustus, on the other hand, did not do so well. </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/nailaug.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This year, I posted my page on Wabi Sabi Ancients:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/wabisabi.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/wabisabi.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/wabisabi.html</a></p><p>Many are a bit ugly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have shown all of these coins before but I hope some will follow the links to see the others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
