Buggered Coins

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:

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.

1936 Sixpence with unknown gunk that won't come off. 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:

Verdigris on verdigris on verdigris,
Can happen even when treated.:angel:

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

: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

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
