I like it. This is why we have the conditional rarities we enjoy today  |

The '65 dime is a shame; it looked like a good solid strike. Good riddance to the rest though--their numbers have to get thinned out somehow.

I have a PMD collection too, but I don't have any coins that actually bend over THEMSELVES. Cool. |

I always leave a few coins out on my sorting table that have no real value.
Along with a hammer, and pliers, and a little steel wool.
That way when my wife wants to take out her frustrations while I'm at ANOTHER coin show, those poor little sacrifices keep her busy and away from my REAL coins!

Sometimes being sucked int a vacuum cleaner will bend coins like that.

Life happens, things get damaged. Cars have dings and chips and scratches, furniture gets worn and stained.
When you think about all the places they may be dropped, it's no wonder these kinds of things happen. Sprinkle some BU coins in a gas station parking lot and see what happens over even a few days, let alone years.
Heck, we start to head south after awhile too (literally and figuratively)

Coins can be decent substitutes for screwdrivers.

My collection of such fine varieties includes a railcar-flattened LWC, a 1946-D Jefferson nickel shot through once with a .38 revolver, and a 1980 something Roosevelt dime which someone went to work on with a drill press, stopping just before the hole was completed. (Actually looks cool.) I've also got several "pavement coins" (one side destroyed by the road, the other mostly OK) and lots of coins I dug with my detector; a copper-plated 1943 steel cent rounds out that little "set."

You can't say "What were they thinking" because you really don't know if any of this was intentional or not... Maybe I'm just over analyzing this.  |
