ikaros Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ugly Coin Competition 2014 Ugly By Design You Poor, Poor Thing 1970 and Before Winner ScottO's 1679 Maundy 4d Who knows what happened to this. Obverse is destroyed, lots of dents and a hole, hardly any detail left. vs 1971 and After Winner ikaros' Columbus Zoo elongated cent When I moved last summer, I dropped a handful of pennies including some elongated cents on the windowsill in my bedroom. Condensation and direct sun turned an otherwise lovely embossed line art of a lion into this corroded disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Don't remember seeing that elongated cent in the previous rounds! Gotta vote for that over something that has survived 450 years in decent shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The elongated cent was the only entry in its category; I think I showed it in the first week and noted it was a bye through to the quarterfinals. That's how my other cent got through, too; the farthing had to earn its spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikaros Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 And the "winner" is: ikaros' Columbus Zoo elongated cent When I moved last summer, I dropped a handful of pennies including some elongated cents on the windowsill in my bedroom.
