I like the first "A" in AMERICA. It looks like it's falling off the coin.

Might of been hit with an older lead BB
Most .22's would go clean through.

The bump only comes out the same distance as the rim of the coin.. notice how its flat.. so it had to be laying against something flat when this happened.. I can figure it out.. really think if someone pressed something down into it there would be some serious stress marks but it looks so quick and clean.. it it possible that it could be a case of struck fragments that made their way in there?

It looks like a bb shot thru, then the coin was squeezed in a vice to flatten the hole out and close it. Other than that, about the only part of this coin that doesn't have PMD or pms is it has a nice clear vdb. |

When do we get to see some errors or die varieties? This place has become the broken coin showcase.

I can rule out a .22 for you. I hit this one 3 times at 100 yards.  Richard |

All this discussion for an obvious PMD coin amazes me ... and quite honestly IMHO detracts from the learning environment that the CCF supports. Quote:

THANK YOU DAVID. It was my understanding when I joined that this was a serious arena that promoted education and learning. I've personally stopped paying as much attention to most of the threads because our words have become fluff. There's no information or anything to learn in half of what is posted. Do you have something (of value) to share? PLEASE DO!
Do you want to hear yourself talk? Buy a tape recorder.

ziggy9: I think your coin must have been hit a fairly close range with a slug that was travelling fast. My plugged nickel is deeply dished, but still in one piece, and I suspect that is was hit with perhaps a .32 cal projectile from a low velocity hand gun.
I am no gun expert, but I was involved in the design and construction of a shooting range for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. It was one of a number of similar design projects I was involved in at the time for the Australian army.
I may perhaps know a little more about the design of rifle ranges than the use of guns.

It was like a car wreck! Why did I spend 30 seconds reading that?  |
