Thanks all! This round will be the opposite of my previous round - now the object is to post your newest lowball! Here is my most impressive lowball, a 194x-S War Nickel that was apparently in continuous circulation until I found it in about 2008!  (Sorry for the photos, those are the original pics, dug up from my photobucket; I still haven't gotten around to sorting through my nickels yet) Once again, this will be a popularity contest; entries will close Wednesday night, and will be tallied up on Thursday. Pointers/rules: - Try to stick to Good or lower, preferably Fair or Poor - If the date is not visible, the coin must still be generally identifiable, at least as to type and general date range. - Try to stick to coins with genuine circulation wear; e.g. not just damaged or sanded down to a slug. - All countries across the world are eligible! |

1797 British cartwheel. My sixth lowball from this single year product. I may pursue a roll of lowballs.   |

Well this is from my new lowball/cull type set beginnings, probably the best by your parameters. It has the Rays on the reverse meaning issued 1866 or early 1867. From looking at the date area angled it seems to have the last digit NE and larger than other digits making it 1866. http://goccf.com/t/319329 Edited by Crazyb0

Not sure if this qualifies as a "Lowball" because it has no date and I am not sure if the date can be nailed down. It is my "newest" most worn coin though. 1917-1930 Type 2 Standing Liberty quarter |

Funnily enough, technically this coin is not in fact the newest lowball in my collection; nor is it my collection's most spectacular lowball. But still, how often do you see a lowball bimetallic coin? After all, bimetallic coinage had only existed since the 1980s, and most of those coins aren't exactly the workhorse denominations. Still, nevertheless, here it is...   West African States, 250 francs, KM# 13 (1992-1996). As it happens, while the date appears to be completely gone (would have been at 6 o'clock on the obverse), it is still uniquely identifiable - it's 1996, the only year of that type with the bee privy mark (just barely visible around 4 o'clock on the reverse). |

An English farthing from 1694:  With a diameter of 24 millimeters, this would be a farthing from the reign of William and Mary. And with it being a farthing, it would be from 1694 ( link!). This is also my oldest junk-bin find, beating my previous oldest one by 29 years. |
