What are the ugliest, most worn-out coins you have found while roll searching (or in general circulation)? Bonus points for something of collector interest! I'll start with my 194X-S War Nickel, found a couple years ago:   This coin is only identifiable because of the ghost of an S on the reverse. Show us what you have! |

I share with you, weighing in at .0705 ounces, more than 25% underweight, my dateless 'Acid-Drop' Wheat cent!  Found this ugly bugger in a roll several months ago. |

I know I have found tons in horrid shape but the only keeper I've come across is my picket piece   I still haven't taken a picture of the plastic penny I found awhile back, that is most likely my weirdest find |

Here's a Canadian dime I found recently. All I can tell is it's not silver, I can't make out a year. The reeding is completely worn away. My best guess is that it was put through a rock polisher. I've never seen a dime more worn than this.   |

Awesome finds everyone!
Mr Click: Is that kennedy silver? I've seen a few similar coins where somebody kept a '64 in their pocket to rub between their fingers, sort of like some cultures keep "worry beads". It's amazing what a little rubbing can do to a coin.
