Or does it depend on the severity? And how severe would it need to be?

I know they are fairly common, I'm just wondering at what point do you keep them, if at all.

There seem to be so many. Are they really worth hanging on to?

I mean, I have no intention of "setting up shop", but I would like to know at what point do you NOT keep them. Not really sure what I'm trying to say or ask.

I guess what prompted the question was I found one that had a nice section of the reverse missing, but the overall condition of the coin was poor.

I keep them if they are unique, meaning well struck with completely missing letters or numbers. If it just appears to be poorly struck they just go into the change jug.

Oh wow killians76! I wouldn't even have to ask whether to keep that one! That's cool!

What year is that? Looks like a '99 WAM to me!

Looks like a 99 but just a guess, and I really dont think you can tell on the reverse, to much is missing. but my eyes arent what they used to be. lol
