Do you like crude coins?

Just looking at some of the coins I have and they range greatly with regards to strikes. I have some beautiful milled coins, but also have some coins which are so crude - but I probably get the most satisfaction from like early India pieces. Am I the only one like this ?

  I do not like them, same with ancient Roman or Greek, and probably ancient Chinese; any mixed bag I get which has any of those in then I sell them straight away. Saying that then the Chinese I got recently I keep for the moment, now they have been identified as around 1800 date. I guess milled only for me.
  

I see the appeal with some but really don't like them. I'm with ZacUK on this.

I agree with ZacUK too, they are ugly.... like collecting rocks... but a lot of history has been deciphered  from them.... I try to stay away.....

I struggle to see ancient coins as being crude. Admittedly they can vary in quality, I think of them as being a very impressive achievement considering the technology at the time. I like Celtic coins I love the abstract design and the fact that you don't get any art work anything like it in history until the emergence of Picaso.

Coins are like women, they should be round, nice to hold, pleasant to look at, lightly circulated and the cruder the better. Extra holes and too much accumulated dirt are extremely undesirable. They should be neither overweight or underweight and have nicely toned surfaces.

Fake women are much easier to spot than fake coins due to having stubble and an Adam's Apple. This is very fortunate as most women object to being dropped on a hard surface and having ice cubes pressed against them.

If coins could make bacon sandwiches life would be perfect.

Interesting fact, all Spanish women appear to be born in 1966 unless you know where to look.

P.s. Yes, I love crude coins. I'll swap your unloved worn coppers for highly polished special commemorative proofs anytime.

Will upload pics of my own soon.

The dates on Spanish coins are all the same (1966) but when you look in the stars you have the real mintage date!

Nice one Mark even though a bit crude it is still machined....(?)

i know its the first i got too, will upload more even for a machined strike it is when you consider what was being pumped out by mints across the world at the same time.
