Opps, sorry. Another example of my fingers not working as fast as my brain. The reason it's "ugly" is because it's dark color. It has three different colors, with a very dark toning on some spots. It stick out among my collection of Morgans too. It also has a scratch and nick here and there. While I think it's ugly, I still like it...it give it charector.

Wonderful toning! A survivor which did many a honest days' work in the economy. Originally from the Old West Carson City Mint, she has somehow escaped the horrible dipping that so many of her sisters have suffered. Ugly? She is a grand lady of the Old West!

Yeah, those are ugly, Learjet.
Pan is a bit of a handsome devil, though, like this guy

No don't clean it. I was not serious. It's a nice old tone.

Arthrene, what is that "lincoln" that is not scraped and mangled? Is it actually a altered real cent or a token of some type? I have a few uglies, so I will have to sleep on which one deserves posting.
