I decided it would be fun to host a prizeless contest to show off the piece in your collection that is in the worst condition. It can be paper money or a coin. Let's see if you can beat mine. If this is a success, I will hold a contest in the future with a prize. Image: IMGA0184.jpg98.26 KB Image: IMGA0185.jpg102.17 KB

Really?!  I never knew APMEX sold bullion in that bad of a condition. Did you get a good deal for them?

wow...I've never seen a ML like that!  Look at all marks in the fields--obviously was bagged with other coins at some point. It wouldn't take much to dent a .999 gold coin. I'll have to dig through my coins to find something suitable.

That Maple Leaf looks like chocolate in foil someone tried to munch on!

How about a Peruvian Reale:   Fully readable date and everything.

I have a U.S. Large Cent with a barely legible date, and a Canadian dime on which you can barely make out the King on the obverse.

On another post called "Ruined Collectables", I posted a statement saying that basically nothing is not really a NON collectable. After seeing these submittals, I retract that statement.
