I know, it is a heartache to see marked coins when coin roll searching. Many times I could have thrown lime green paint on the person who marked so many half dollars I was going through.
On the other hand, I will admit seeing some odd ways of marking coins.
So, if you like, here is a thread for pictures of marked coins whether they be quite normal edge marking or some version of a Picasso.
If you wish, fire away. All denominations are welcome.

I hope you're kidding with the rustoleum. That's overkill and pretty destructive if you aren't aware of errors/special coins other people may be looking for.

a thread like this only validates the inconsiderate low-lifes that mark coins

Hate to see that done to such a nice coin. I have saw a lot of my halves with holes in them while searching my boxes.
On my next two boxes, I will try to post any interesting ones I find. As much as I despise them, I have saw a few creative ones out there.

accordselux, you are completely right that it is very destructive for error and special coins that people may be looking for. I'm not a clad lover though, so everything gets hit.

Crhstreetwalker,
"...I'm not a clad lover though, so everything gets hit."
Okay, my question now has to become to what degree do you hit them?

Looking to get some pics up next week if I run into any uniquely marked coins. Trying to get the feel for my newly purchased 450d Canon (lightly used but new to me.)

I have run across several dimes lately that have been painted on one side. Mostly yellow, but I have red and blue too.

I don't go through halves much any more; usually a waste of time as most of them have dried up, at least around here. Here are a couple circulated proofs I pulled some time ago. Whoever did this really didn't have to. Totally destroyed the coins.  |
