That metal rim is just the result of impact displacement. We see a lot of these here and sometimes I think that cents were used as cheap test pieces in machine shops. Most likely though -- it's just that people do weird stuff to coins. Report this Post to the Staff
hunt0808 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 2:40 pm is this still possible even though it is the size if a needle point? Do they make drills that small? Report this Post to the Staff

And yes they make drill bit even as small as a tiny needle Edited by oldmike 02/01/2017 3:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have a set of drill bits for making LP and Nat gas orifices, the are so small, you can't even see the cutting edge on them. I don't think they were drilled, you can see damage on the opposite side of the coin, so they were most likely punched in. Report this Post to the Staff
