I wouldn't bother with this if it wasn't one of the only three known examples ... but it kinda fits the bill! Shilling of Charles I from around June 1635. Spink 2793 Sharp E1/3 The plume above the shield on the reverse shows it was struck from silver mined in Wales. Just enough detail to show it's obverse #1 rather than the commoner obv #2.  . |

I notice on various posts throughout the forum that a number of members actual collect PO01 US coins because of their historical interest. Do collectors also like collecting the worn copper and brass coins? |

Not sure if this is the worst, but it is certainly one in the league:   In case you don't recognise it, the obverse is the left picture.  |

Okay, I will not get too mad at Bas S Warwick for resurrecting this three year old topic since there have been some nice additions to the thread (especially the one Bas added).  |

Bolivia 1819 from my 300 country collection. I have much better technical grade coins but I just love the character of this one. So many miles, imagine the stories it could tell.  Edited by Wade

I found this 1885? GB Victoria Bun Penny this week - this must be in my top 5 of my worn coins.The date has almost gone. Would this be graded as AG3?  Edited by Bas S Warwick

US Liberty head nickel, 1883-1913 (God forbid 1913.) Worn. Not corroded, left in the road or dug up with a power drill. My guess is that may be due to slot machines. But in the spirit of full disclosure, it may have been cleaned.   |

I have plenty of worn-out coins - lowballs are my passion.  The rarest in my collection is the only PCGS certified PO01 Walking Liberty half dollar ...  There are over 360,000 PCGS certified Walkers - this coin is unique as the only PO01.  Enjoy David |
