Worn coin contest!

[simonm]

A contest just for fun, the only prize having the glory of winning. :LOL_Hair: This is a contest for you to post your most worn lincoln cent that you have. Think "this was the last coin produced by the dies before they broke". Extreme die deterioration, massive and numerous die chips and cracks, you name it. Post it all here, and see who has the most worn cent of them all!

[papascoins]

That's a good one Simon! Sounds like fun! Besides, you need to be 'light' on the subject once in a while!~!

:LOL_Hair: Actually, I got a few with marks just like those, I wonder what/who did it???

No kidding, I have found similar too.... I tought us maybe some type of acid drops, or elctric current that passed trough? Maybe a guy was about play a coin toss out in the rain at the edge of a football field while the cent acted as a thunder attracting metal and the guy got fried right there and the only surviving thing was this poor little Lincoln cent..... or maybe my Hydrocodone pain meds I took 30 minutes ago :occasion16:just kicked in... dope!!!!!

[tone541]

EITHER THAT OR HE WAS TRYING TO CREATE A FLOWING HAIR LINCOLN CENT , THINKING THAT HE CAN SELL IT ON E-BAY AS A MAJOR FIND (ONLY 1 KNOWN) AND A STARTING BID OF $29,785.00. :LOL_Hair:

come you guys, this has to be the grand prize winner of this contest. he certainly has my vote !!

[simonm]

Since the contest called for die deterioration-type worn cents, then I would have to say Jason has the winning cents, but I loved all the submissions. Feel free to keep posting if you want to, I love to see all these weird coins. :angel:

[tnspro]

i figured i would win this hands down...but I only win when i play tennis....other than that...:sign10:

I should put it on ebay starting at .99 and put 'The Most worn down Lincoln you will ever see' - I'll bet it is a 09S VDB!

[flyhi3]

Yeah, I agree Ruben..... Lot of junk selling for big bucks.

[coop]

Here is one with heavy die deteriation.

[simonm]

Really like that one Coop. May have to call it a draw...:LOL_Hair:

[coop]

That one is an uncirculated example. The roll was mostly like that one when I got it. I called it a glorified slug. LOL

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just found one I HAD to share! Enjoy! :)

[Erdnussbier]

Hello, I´m new at this forum, but I have also bad Lincoln cents:

The left one have a lot of freeway miles, and the right coin had seen the toilet flushing :)

[Peter]

Nice Lukas! We like to export our best Lincolns abroad and glad you found one!

[LincolnLawyer]

It's not a Lincoln, but I keep it in a 2X2 as part of my collection. For your approval, my 1864 Indian Head cent.

[simonm]

Wow...I'm surprised you can even tell the date!

[LincolnLawyer]

Just barely, under a 16X loupe. :bigsmile:

[flyhi3]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!:)

[Erdnussbier]

I have a coin, when I myself wonder how could I recognize the date yet.

It´s a 1 Groschen from Prussia 1825 D.
