Found this no-date oddity in a parking lot. Obviously, someone chopped it in half. How do you suppose that was done so cleanly?

Too bad it's not silver, at least it would have 'some' value.

Bolt cutters, or something similar.

A metal-cutting blade on a jigsaw could do this easily.

Sears right-hand cut (red handle) tin snip would work.

I used to cut out the profile of Lincoln with a pair of tin snips when I got bored working as a sheet metal duct installer. That was back when I was about 17 and kind of umm... stupid.

I got bored a lot back then, so there are quite a few sections of ductwork that have cut-outs of Lincoln's head rattling around in them. I'm pretty sure that the statute of limitations has run out on mutilating coins, right?

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
