Yeah, everyone seems tight-lipped on that, huh? I used a dremel, but had to shop around for a while to find appropriate bits. There are some bits that are marked for soft metals, and some mark for harder metals (which is what I chose). Lowe's didn't have many of those. I've tried on recent Jefferson nickels (year 2000 or newer), but it was harder to do... it seems these old nickels may have had a softer alloy that the current stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
