Ugly Abes

Postby rickygee » Sun Oct 03, 2010 6:04 pm

When I talk to my brother about cent collecting (hoarding) he always goes on a rant about the extremely nasty pennies he receives in change from cashiers. Yeah, the ugly Abes. He swears they do it to him on purpose.

So as a gag Christmas present I intend to buy the Whitman 'Cents' folder (no dates) and fill it with the most evil ,wicked, mean, nasty , dirty, toxic, disgusting coins I find in my hand sorting. Ya know...I might just start one of these for myself! :lol:

:D That is a great gift idea. A book of ugly Abe's is always better than a stocking full of coal

Sounds like a great gift idea.

You might have the next Feebay craze:
"Very Desirable Complete Collection of LMC's *Patina 100% Intact* All Coins Guaranteed Circulated And Not Cleaned in Any Way What So Ever"

PS - Some of the ugliest Abe's I've ever seen came from the bottom of one of my Wife's old purse that had a burst pack of Parmesan cheese mixed in with the other detritus at the bottom. I'm guessing they had been aging for at least 2 years before we looked to see if anything was there.
Cheese and Cu don't mix well, if you need to develop the patina for some of the collection.
