I used to practice my quick draw with my .22 LR revolver on Kennedy Halves. I hit many of them but the bullet never went through that I recall as I spent them later.
Quick draw, hitting a Kennedy half that has been spun into the air? Impressive!
No, not tossed into the air. Set on the ground with a dirt bank behind. LOL

I have that coin in my possession - disregard the word "COPY"
The Hunley museum store in N. Charleston is currently offering this same replica coin with a purchase from their store. Forgot what the minimum purchase is.

Some years ago I was a member of the N-SSA, a national group that live fired civil war era weapons in competitions. On our 8 man team events, we would frequently wire hang a coin below our 50 yard target frames. When the event finished, Ioaded
weapons would be cleared by firing the round into the backstop. Our group, which was very competitive, aimed at that coin 50 yards away. Here’s what happened when my .58 caliber minie ball hit a quarter!
