I was browsng ebay for some good coin deals when I ran into this. I honestly felt as if I was about to start crying.

Take a look and tell me what you think:

Cry? Because they are damaged? At least they are listed for what they are...simply silver coins. And yeah at $2.80 it would be a great deal.

Oh poor tzarmarko!
There is a phrase which brings me a bit of comfort:
"A coin is, what it is."
Coins were made to facilitate commerce.
Coins suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune.
Coin collectors can only do their best to preserve these servants of commerce.
Yeah, it hurts ... a LOT!

Indeed! The winner will cash in on quite a bit as they put them out of their misery when they put these in next lot they ship off to the smelter.

Still hurts to see nice silver coins thrashed like that.

I enjoy guns as much as coins so to me the bullet whole one is kind of cool especially if theres a story behind it. I like to think it happened in a shootout where the law won

I cant imagine the poor fellow who had that quarter in his jacket pocket in the ol' west when some no good bandit shoots him down for his silver!
