the holes in the Large Cent that cdn44fan posted was done with old square nails. People used to nail Large Cents on their houses or barns door frame for good luck back when these coins were circulating and back then most of the nails were square instead of round like most are today

THAT piece of information on damage is actually very interesting! And makes perfect sense. I've seen the square holes and never considered...I also recall hearing about the good luck stigma- now 2 and 2 have come together. Thanks Bryan!

Not to be out dueled by the gun slinger who put the hole in my penny, he threw up a Mercury dime.
