I am starting this thread to create a place for CCF members to post the absolute ( like PO-01 or corroded) worst condition coins in their collections. Sadly, I do not have the time to post pics of my own, but everyone else, go ahead, make my day!
Moved to Main forum - Sap

I found a couple of clad halves a few weeks ago that were worn slick. I was going to post photos, but I can't find them now. I've never seen modern coins so worn...

So slick you can't find them? Did you drop 'em in a box of electrical box punch outs?

I've got an early British penny. All of the legend is clipped off, and just an eerie king is staring at you:

How about much newer thing. A Presidential dollar. This was just my spending money. I emptied my pocket into the sock drawer and forgot about it for a few weeks. Laundry had been done a couple of times, some socks with residual moisture entered the drawer ... All other coins (change) are fine, the dollar seems to be on the verge of throwing up. But, hey, it's a game now, "Guess the president!" (Would you like to win it?)

Quote: I guess it is Andrew Johnson? Yeah - you can just about make out the surname and the 69 in the date. So it would be a much harder "game" when/if the Presidential program finally gets to Lyndon Johnson

Worst 2 Shield nickels ever. But I got them at face value... like they have a face anymore.
