I just got a bona fide ugly penny yesterday, but it doesn't meet the criteria of the contest (it's a zinc). Looks like it was on the highway for about a year. I'll try to post it tonight anyway.

Yep, that's why I excluded the Zincolns from the contest...they get ugly fast.
But sure--post it anyway for fun.
Rest in Peace

I've got an IHC cull that would win. Just gotta figure out where my 3 y.o. grandson put the cull box.

I looked through some old Steelies. Ouch! Now I know why we don't still use steel! It is NOT a good medium for a coin!

Update: due to my home internet being out for the past few days, I'm going to extend this contest...until I have 100% access again. Thanks for the entries so far--and you have more time to post a few more.

With all the great entries, it was a hard decision...but one coin really stood out:

Ugly-Cent/Penny-Contest!
This coin could really tell a story...

Fiddler's buried large cent is the winner--congrats!
PM me with your info, and I'll send this out.

Runner-up prizes to anyone with a qualifying entry: a Lincoln Cent from 1910-1919.
To get one, PM me your info--thanks for playing!
