For some reason I'm kind of fascinated by some of the badly damaged coins I find. I always pick them up. Guess I've started a variety collection of my own EH? Maybe I'll call it my Hard Life Coin Collection!
A while back I had a penny, good shape, but two curved scoops off the edges made me think it wasn't a real "clip" if two clips were there. I figured someone did that on purpose. I'd thought error clips were only one area so I spent it. Also had a straight edged clipped penny and thought someone had clipped it off. Didn't know there were straight clip real errors. I know now ... too late for those two pennies though :D

I found a 2009-D LP3 on the ground today. Maybe I could drive over it daily until it looks like your LMC. "Roadkill pocket piece"?!  |

Oops ... someone beat me to it!
Snowplows/graders, chained and tracked vehicles, would definately make for some interesting roadkill coins!!

 I never pass up any coin found on the road, in the dirt, parking lot or whatever. I figure if I find enough of them, I'll eventually have enough for a Big Mac ............. maybe? Depends on how quickly they continue to raise their prices. And then again, I may be fortunate like the guy in Peoria, working a construction site during excavation and he pulled out an 1836 (I think) capped bust dime covered with dirt and minor corrosion.  |

I'd like to sow you the cent that I smashed with a hammer, ran around my neighborhood with it taped to my shoe.
stepped on it and dragged it along the street with my foot, sanded it down with some sand paper, and finally held straight up with 2 rocks and folded over on to itself with a dime in the middle of the 2 halves.
i also have a penny that I actually broke I half by doing the last step, and bending it back and forth...

Coop?  Is that the "double-ear" Freddy? I didn't realize that it was considered an error coin. I find 5 or 6 of those in every box I search. I've been tossing 'em back.   |
