jcuve Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 10:53 pm Someone cut or sanded it down. Maybe for fun or to try and make it the same size as a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
ghedary New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 11:06 pm Then my next question is if someone had cut it do you think the rim would remain smooth? I'm gonna try and take better pictures because I could be wrong but I don't believe it has been cut by someone. Thanks for your help Report this Post to the Staff
