coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 03/03/2009 4:59 pm I decided it would be fun to host a prizeless contest to show off the piece in your collection that is in the worst condition. It can be paper money or a coin. Let's see if you can beat mine. If this is a success, I will hold a contest in the future with a prize.

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/03/2009 7:49 pm Really?! I never knew APMEX sold bullion in that bad of a condition. Did you get a good deal for them? Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 3:22 pm wow...I've never seen a ML like that! Look at all marks in the fields--obviously was bagged with other coins at some point. It wouldn't take much to dent a .999 gold coin. I'll have to dig through my coins to find something suitable.

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 05:13 am I have a U.S. Large Cent with a barely legible date, and a Canadian dime on which you can barely make out the King on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 11:18 am On another post called "Ruined Collectables", I posted a statement saying that basically nothing is not really a NON collectable. After seeing these submittals, I retract that statement. Report this Post to the Staff
algol Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 10:46 pm I got this CRH awhile back. I wasn't even sure it was a penny at first. I think its severe chemical damage? Under 10x I can just barely see a 9 and possibly the remains of a 2. 1992 would be my guess if I had to take one. I'm not sure if you can really tell from the pictures, but on the reverse One Cents is semi-visible. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC00014.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC00013.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
