WOW! The years of work and careful collection of the absolute worst
coins makes that set something to be proud of.

He is pretty particular about them...as funny as that sounds! He only
goes for problem free specimens. No bent, banged up, placed on a
train track coins will do. Only the best of the worst.

Some of these are really funny. I would love to see the 2 1/2 dollar
Indian. How bad must an incuse design coin be worn down to warrant PO-01?
And I had to laugh at the one that was crossed from ANACS PO-01. What
must the guys at PCGS have thought?

Dear Lord. These make my orphanage look like a beauty pageant. I think
I can out-ugly the Liberty Seated Dime, but not in that date. The
Kennedy is appalling. I was afraid to look at the $10 piece.

Don't give them any ideas. They could make a lot of money grading
junk just to make entries.

Too late. I already know a couple of collectors who have lowest grade
registry sets.

An occasional poster in this newsgroup was working on the
World's Worst Gold Type Set ... he had a $50 slug that
was identifiable by size and shape only. Dunno if he is
still working on "downgrading" it, or if he stopped after
retiring and moving to Floriday ...

Yawtta see my 1866 two cent piece.. I bought it when I was a kid.. don't
remember when, or what I paid for it, but I've had it in a little 2x2" paper
envelope with "1866 2c" typed at the top as long as I can remember.. it's
probably the single most worn out coin I own.. but I was not a rich kid and
was happy to buy it at the time way back when.. I bet it isn't worth a cent
more now than when I bought it close to 40 years ago..

In 1980, that wasn't a bad price for these especially not seeing them first
and knowing a dealer had only offered $60 which was pobably going rate for
low grade coins at the time.


I remember back in the seventies when the multi-page Coin World dealers
often offered bust halves by the full roll in G-VG and F-VF.

I didn't buy any.
