America's 10 least wanted coins
OK, this is just a spoof of the annual Coinage magazine article
that comes out this time each year. To make it easier, specific date/mintmark coins can be listed or series of coins. US coins only. One rule - SBA dollars can only be listed once either as a date or a series. Have fun. |

One rule - SBA dollars can only be listed once either as a date or a series. Have fun. 1958-D Lincoln Cents: Despite being the last of 'wheat' reverses, the 1958-D is suffering serious reverses in the marketplace. We advise that you unload now, even through Coinstar as no future gains are on the horizon. 1822 Peace Dollars: A recent discovery of a horde of these from Guanxi Province has undercut the market. By year's end we expect a roll to sell for the January price of a single example. Colorized North Carolina Quarters: A surplus of these has escaped a TV studio and threatens the future of the issue. The rare 'reversed dayglow' variety will not escape the downward price pull. Alan 'don't say I never gave you anything' |

I would buy as many of these as I could :-) Of course, they would turn out to be altered or counterfeit for sure. I wonder who would colorize the NC quarter. I think this is the worst state quarter there is. Anita |

Can we get the Churchill crown on the list? A very strong candidate. Most antique shops have a number that they cannot sell for love nor money! Followed closely by the Charles & Diana Wedding Crown -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coinsoftheuk.info Sent using RISCOS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC .... The current death rate? One per person, of course. |

To make it easier, specific date/mintmark coins can be listed or series of coins. US coins only. One rule - SBA dollars can only be listed once either as a date or a series. Have fun. 1. 1979 SBA dollars. No one wanted them when they were new and even now no one wants them. (But at least they're not still taking up space in government vaults like those unwanted morgan dollars did for so many decades.) 2. 1964 Jefferson Nickels. Even if it's just a nickel, there is a certain excitement in finding one that looks old in pocket change, followed by contempt and disgust upon discovering that it is, in fact, just a 1964. 3. Zinc cents. These are an embarrasment to the nation and to every american individually. The mint has removed any artistic merrit the original Lincoln cent had, they feel cheap, they in fact are worthless, and they self destruct upon contact with anything resembling a natural environment. Ironically enough, their short shelf life will make them rare treasures to the collectors of US coins a score or two of millenia in the future. Perhaps sooner. But I'm not going to hold my breath. 4. Any clad Dime. These coins have surprisingly little use economically, and I have never heard any collector on any occasion talk about saving one, unless it has a W mint mark. 5. Presidential dollars. Who the hell thought that was a good idea? 6. First lady gold pieces. Now they're just being rediculous. 7. Any commemorative coin featuring Eunice Shriver or commemorating the 230th anniverssary of anything. The 38th anniverssary of the Korean war was kind of neat, but come on. Unless the anniversary is important and the event is of national signifigance, let's not foist off another thinly veiled special interest revenue project on the numismatic community who will have to live with the folly for hundreds of years. I know I still treasure the opportunity to honor the 50th anniversary of Cincinatti as a center of music, and I can't wait to tell my kids that I was there when they made the coins that commemorated the capital visitor center in coin of the realm. And with all due respect to Mrs. Shriver, I don't think she was ever meant to be sculpted in metal. 8, 9, and 10 being trivially obvious, I will leave them as an exercize for the reader. -p |

Any coin in an ACG slab where the price matches the "grade". Billy
