I remember seeing a picture of a well-worn SBA, and when I say well-worn...I mean well-worn. I have searched for an hour and cannot find it. Will someone please repost it?

This is the most worn one I have ever seen.

Holy poop!
That is the greatest registry set I have ever seen!
Hundreds of dollars spent on the worst coins!
Absolute genius!

Get it slabbed!!

Look hither, it all ready is. PCGS-4

Looks like artificial wear to me. Way too even on all of the high spots.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Doesn't look right.

Sure is odd. It is weared too evenly starting from the rims and the top surfaces but for the rest, there is too much details on it. Could be possible that someone decided to use sandpaper and blast the rim area and top surfaces away.

Anyone see the $20 gold piece? Wow.

It says it's a pocket piece set.

I'd like to know why most of the coins in the registry set say "Home Made" at the end...... actually..... no, I don't want to know.

Powered by "Rock Tumbler" ™ technology!!!

You know, even in AG the Saint looks good, though it still makes me cringe!

I have a peace dollar that is in way more worn than that one.....is there a prize???

How about the $2½ gold piece? I think I like the incused image even better with the heavy wear.

Whats with the MS65 Sac?

Must be a current pocket piece

Looks like I need to get me a junk Franklin and turn it into a pocket piece.

Is the pocket piece theory that after carrying it for years it will look like...well...crap?

It's the history. Think of all the lint that baby has seen!

Ahh...this was in fact the coin that I was looking for. Thank you for posting it. I also noticed the "Home Made" comments on the PCGS registry.

Lint... I think if these coins could talk they would more complain about thier neighbor and the couple of nuts that live with him!

Oh! Oh you did not just go there!!

How many years do you think it will be before this girl is ready for her pocket piece slab?

I have a pocket pc '76 Ike i've been working on for a little over a year.

How's that going for you? Ever let it run through the washer on accident?

Next time I find a SE at bullion value that is going in my pocket.

< It is weared too evenly starting from the rims and the top surfaces but for the rest, there is too much details on it >

Have you ever really noticed that the SBA is in much higher relief than the rest of our coinage? Kind of like the Peace dollar. So even in very low grade there is more detail than you would expect.

I would say that the coin in overgraded. No rims? Good 4? Rims worn more than halfway down into the lettering? Good 4? AG-3 at best.

Ahem....that's the only worn one I've seen. I've never encountered any specimen of SBA which I would grade below AU55, at least not in person where I actually saw the coin at close range. The reason for this is that I've never gotten one in change except from a USPS stamp vending machine.
