Ytee64 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 11:49 pm Hi Y'all, This one is definitely not a drill, no scratches in the holes and the image can faintly be seen. The holes are perfect circles and caused small cracks. To do this with a hand tool would be very hard without scratching and a BB wouldn't have the velocity to cause hairline cracks. Is there anything in the striking process that could cause this? Ytee64 Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps a mod will be so kind as to move your post to a thread of it's own. Report this Post to the Staff

Only one person really knows how it was done for sure. Maybe someone put BB's on the coin and then put it in a vise? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
