Tooled $10 Coin
(1/1)

who would tool a $10 coin? Check this one out:
This was worn enough to be a $5 coin before they tooled it. <G>
wolfgang336:
Holy cow! That's one messed up coin!
featherz:
Yep! That one is on several people's 'tooling' pages. I call it Mr Tooly. :)
Hard to read but I think part of the new 'legend' is 'emperor'. ;D
Jericho:
HAHA, that IS funny ;D. I should try to make a NERO out of one of my slugs. Your coin must have been one of that tool's first tooling attempts :D. Did the guy/gal base his scrape work on what was already there you think? Any idea who the coin was of BEFORE it got butchered?

Most likely a Tripolis - Either Elagabalus or Caracalla. I have an ugly but identifiable Elagabalus here of the same type:
By the way, I got Mr. Tooly for free. I was buying some other coins and I thought it was amusing, so I had the seller throw it in. :)
