Probably from a Red Ryder BB gun with carbine action and a compass in the stock. You'll shoot your eye out!

 Agree with the Red Ryder BB-gun theory. I had one, and they were indeed quite powerful! |

to the CCF It would take a heck of a BB gun to cause this much damage to a clad quarter. See the bulge on the reverse. Maybe a copper coin, but not clad. Looks more like a round center punch. |

This is why I dismissed it. From that entry. " All alleged Rockwell test marks in planchets are now considered suspect".

I'm unpacking my belongings from a recent move, and when I find my vintage 1973 Red Ryder bb-gun, I will do an impact test on a 1965 clad quarter just to see. Stay tuned.  Edited by Tacc

Never heard of a Rockwell test before. That's actually really cool.
Thank you for the information.

@ Sixela....Johns (Dearborns) last post was just a post meant for the other John1, don't let it discourage you from posting anything/coin you have a question(s) on/about. It's the only way to learn and remember everyone here started out at the same level of knowledge. Best wishes towards your collection goals and to CCF |
