This is my flatest...you can barely tell that it's a draped bust cent. I'll bet that it was a rare one too.

That is indeed a worn cent!
I think this is the most worn coin I have.

I've never seen a Columbian with that much wear. They look attractive in that state. 
WOW, those are some worn coins. I don't think I have anything remotely close to those, maybe a Connecticut Copper.

I totally bought it for the wear. Saw it in a junk box several years ago and snagged it for not much over melt...well not much over melt if it was all still there!
ok, let's find the camera, I have several to add.
This is probably my most worn coin.
I've got choices.

I wonder why someone'd clean that? There ain't much to even attempt to improve

This must have been a pocket piece for many years. So much cooler than whatever its worth.

I have had this one for a long while
but I never even knew what it was until Tiff figured it out...

I recognized it instantly. 
I have one of those too, a tad better than Stujoe's. Mine is from Paris Mint
my oldest US coin - sluggish but still likeable
I would love that slug!
Possibly that - Russia 1 ruble (1795-1793). Most probably minted in 1793 as the rest are uncommon novodels or just uncommon.
No idea...
This one I may be able to at least decipher where it's from. The crown looks familiar.

Irish halfpenny?
1921 Venezuela ½ Bolivar.
Well worn, but at least the date is visible!
The waviness on the pic is from the 2x2. The coin is so worn that it does not even have the thickness anymore to to make it taut.
I think should qualify for the slug thread.
And maybe even this little guy.
Now that Jeff has some sluggish issues!
That nickel met a train.
