Why would someone do this to a coin?! was it suck in a machine?! Can someone tell me what happend, if they know? Thanks! Just found it kind of interesting! Report this Post to the Staff

Stacker82 Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 09:45 am To me, it looks like something some kid would do in highschool when he's bored in class and wanted to see if he could make the coin look "cool" or artistic...? I don't think anyone can answer why for sure though. Report this Post to the Staff
