Show Me Your Tired and Poor

[C.I.]

Most of our post deal with the higher grades of our collections. Not often do we share those which are at the other end of the spectrum. I would all think we have a few which for whatever reason, will not part with. This is just a little fun post for those who want to share their wares.

 

As for my Standing Lib, I have no idea as to a date. The Merc has little wear but certainly has some issues...

Very tired. Very poor.

I have a few of these very old large cents that are very worn. This is not my oldest but it's the image I found.

It doesn't get more tired or poor than this!!! Residing in a PCGS genuine holder... but I think it should have holdered as a P-01!!

[BillJones]

 

Sorry, but I think that PCGS over graded this one. I'd give it a Good-4, which would make it rarer and perhaps more desirable on some circles.

This is the best one I could come up with.

Chris.... did you mean WORST!

[cpm9ball]

Chris.... did you mean WORST!

 

Nope! It's the best one that meets the OP's criteria. It's all a matter of perspective. Besides, no 1893-CC has ever been VAMmed with a cud on it.

If it gets any more worn, you won't be able to prove the cudd.

[Coindude]

Cud? That's interesting... TBH, it looked like a rim bruise to me... but you have it in hand.

That's what other people assumed, but there is no damage to the edge. Despite the fact that it is worn, the only way the arc would show extending into the field would be if there was metal raised above the field in the first place. The wear on this coin has left it so there is just a small trace remaining of the cud. I keep telling myself that I'm going to send it to Leroy, but I am such a procrastinator.

Some will tell you not to bother with the coins posted, but I have a soft spot for them. (thumbs u

 

 

[DC Dawg]

Ok... this is my oldest coin and probably most "damaged" by age.
