Mark, LJ, I'm not CrazyB0o  The weight is a clue it's not hollow. Many hobby saws are capable. |

A new question for the class:
"How can you sand a coin without burning your fingers?"

There is another way to do this with out damaging the coin. Place the coin on a large piece of wood and put f screws (not round headed screws) around the outside edge of the coin lower than the thickness of the coin, but holding the coin in place. Then sand it down.

Then sand it down. I can picture that. But man, that seems like a lot of useless work. I'm guess you gotta do that with some type of belt sander? |

And the simplest way is simply use a lathe and take the entire side off of the coins and then put them together. Same thing as if you are hollowing it out, only you take it all the way to the edge instead of stopping inside the rim.

It would be a waste of money but I would be curious if or how a TPG'er would certify/label this? |

They would probably bodybag it as an altered coin.
