Please enter your coins from 1971 and after that simply haven't aged well. This is a subjective call; entrants in this thread should be simply heavily worn through mainly natural means.

Art1.2 2A1#1

2006 Belgium 2 Euro Commemorative

While this is an attractive and interesting design on paper and on truly uncirculated coins, a small amount of circulation renders the design flat and unattractive. I have yet to find a strongly struck version of this coin but definitely would like to.

1992 - mexico 1 peso

 

possibly a slightly weak strike on the obverse has led to the wear of this coin almost completly rubbing out the obverse design

1986 500 lira - san Marino

 

not even that much wear on the coin, however the coin has very little design, and the obverse design, the detail for the most part is nearly gone.

1976 1 Krone - norway

 

Age hasn't been good to poor Olav making him completly bald, the reverse design is rather bland, however due to heavy circulation the coin is heavily scratched

1974 2 Santimat

 

Age has almost worn the obverse portrait to nothing more then a shape, with only the deeper lines of the facial features and the ears showing, and the legend on the obverse almost worn away, the reverse design also, all details on the raised parts of the coat of arms are flat.

1989 £1. Isle of Man

 

age is never kind on the Pound Coin, esepcially here where there are deep scratches all over the obverse from circulation.
