Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 7:09 pm Old fuse box coin? Looks like the coin was melted from heat in that area. Edited by Mark1959 05/15/2017 7:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 12:38 am Looks like a plugged hole to me. Displaced metal towards the reverse suggests coin being punctured from the obverse going down. Report this Post to the Staff
Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 12:49 am I think this was an attempt, from both sides,to pierce the coin with a file-like tang.They didn't line up so the attempt was aborted. Report this Post to the Staff
bmar Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 4:41 pm I would get quarters all the time, in my video games, where the kids would drill holes and attach fish line so they could "string" the video game and ring up a lot of credits. I would also get nickels that had been hammered to the size of a quarter. Always seemed to me it would be easier to get a job and earn the money. Report this Post to the Staff
