Keeping with the movie theme... put it under a rock that has no place being in the middle of a field... or something along those lines.

Seriously, the hole above the date sounds good to me.
Actually a few holes far removed from the date.
This is a great candidate as a teaching aid.
Do not destroy it.
Send it to bobby131313 and pat yourself on the back for benefiting your fellow collectors.
At least you did not buy it as a '14-D.
OR, to be frivolous,
"Coppa! Tellz yah, I didn't do it. Not my fault!
Fat Tony's thug worked me over.
I'z innocent, tellz yah ... INNOCENT!"

Update: The coin has been shipped out to Bobby. So help me God, if I see one topless photo on the Net, I'll never send you another coin.  |

Judging by the wire rim and eroded devices, the whole coin was subjected to an acid bath to hide the doctoring and impart a consistent surface to the whole coin.

I hope you instructed Bobby to destroy it after he's finished.

BadThad,
I would rather he send it back to me. I want to have all the fun and then it will give me another excuse to start a new thread. I may just have to put a .45 round through it with a vintage WWI Colt Army .45 M1911. That would be so cool.

A shot through the eyes? NICE!
Look, if your example prevents a single new member on the CCF from making a mistake, you will
have done a tremendous service to us all.
Just keep a steady aim ... and SHOOT!
All that I can do is to throw a few coins on the floor and say, "These are not good."
THEN, I present a single coin, held over a towel for protection, and say,
"This is a special coin. You may hold it, carefully, over
a towel. If it hits the table, you have just wiped out
20 percent of its value.
That gets my sister's attention quickly!
[She is SO good to allow me to manage the family's coins.]

If you manage to actually hit it with the .45, I hope you can recover it, because I would love to see the result. You need to at least video it when you do it.

smokeriderdon, What do you mean by 'if I hit it?'   If I miss, I'll just shoot it one more time....or one more time.....or one more time. The magazine holds 7 rounds and the coin won't be shooting back. I will see if I can record the event. I should have little to no problem doing this project. It's editing and posting that will stump me. Have tripod will travel. |
