    Write a brief description along with the name you have given it.

    Rules
    Picture or it didn't happen.
    Must be silver .999 or a collection equivalent to 1oz of .999 silver. e.g. You might have 3 ugly triplet '66 50c, 2 ugly half ounce twins
    Or a family of inbred shillings
    Just has to equal an ounce of pure silver .999

    Winner will receive their choice of one (1) of the following
    *1oz Lunar S2 Snake

    *1oz 2007 Kookaburra
    *1oz 2012 Koala

    as a trade in for your fugly coin. I will cover post at both ends.

    Cartwheels are copper. Think the oldest silver coin I dug is dated 1820. Didn't whack it with the pick whilst digging, but can give it a couple of hits now if that helps me win. :)

    1.00ASW family of inbred shillings. Alternatively (and somewhat uglier) family of inbred florins above, 1.09ASW. Libby is looking really worse for wear in that one third from the left.

    I've posted these before, but not close-up. Found them in an old garage, amongst paint tins and bottles of sump oil. These are some of the worst, but there are plenty more.

    I can haz win?
