Buggered Coins

[Nevol]

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.

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:

I'm sorry to say that I know of no way of removing that without damaging the surface of the coin.

I have an UNC 1926 1d which has been shot i will have to dig out photos later.

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.
