We all have coins that would be amazing BUT
Come on you Mob this is the place where you can drag those deformed freakish coins out of the locked cellar and show them some daylight :laugh2:
I found this one the other day.
It is beautifully struck up and has full lustre :yahoo:
Shame about that crap on it that acetone won't budge :dash1:

OUCH
I think that i have posted pics before on my buggared/shot coins

This makes what, four or five threads about roadkill?
Seems only the good die young. Coins too. Like my very first 20¢ bubble the other day. Completely ruined. :(
1844 Half Farthing with a hole. Bugger.

I wasn't thinking about "road Kill" more about corrosion, PVC and other environmental damage on otherwise nice coins.
Like these two examples of shoddy mint packaging.
The 20 cent came directly from a mint set and the dollar was from one of them totally useless mint envelopes :dash1:

ok I'll play, talk about a heart breaker :cray: 09 wedding set and no idea how this would happen unless at a speck of dust or something got on it at the mint but either way the coin is RS and now I'm seeing how long it takes to cover the coin (http://i44.tinypic.com/mvnva0.jpg)
:laugh2: I should post some of my predecimal as they really are disgusting but they're a part of our past so I like them

Wrong thread.. that's not buggered.... nice find btw :)
Quotethat's not buggered....
:agreed:
Nice error Mate :good:
Yes I agree wrong thread but thought put it here as my son handed it over with the comment it was munted 3p in with 6p i guess that means buggered in his view. I've show him the posts so he s changed his mind. Regards ErikP
Here's a buggered 1918 3d, been mashed on the bottom, both sides. :cray:

I pretty much said yes to a big box full of 1980's rolls today. End coins are almost all very very green. So I'll have quite a lot of buggered coins next week.
You never know...you might be lucky with the ones in the middle.

The ones he already opened were all perfect other than the ends, so yes, I expect that will be the case. But the premium is somewhat less than 100%, and the higher value rolls appear unaffected at first glance, so it may all work out for the best.

I'm sorry to say that I know of no way of removing that without damaging the surface of the coin.
That 51 3d not a rare date scrap metal bin grade

Bury it.
oh wait, you must have because that's why your digging it out later. Poor coin, can't even rest in peace.

Ewwwww.. what a horrible thing to do to a coin!
Oh, and it was a punch of some sort, not a drill.
