    See if you can hammer it in.

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    It's counterfeit, that's why it will not fit.

    Gluing on a mintmark shouldn't have any effect on the diameter of the coin.

    Is this a joke or are you really that stoopid? The coin is the size of a quarter, and if you paid 4 bucks for it you paid too much.

    That’s because you haven’t sent it to https://capturedlightning.com/frames/interesting1.html yet. It’ll fit after you do that

    Just be sure to let them know what size you need so they can use the right amount of joules

    Be sure to wipe off the thumb print with a brillo pad, as it has soap in it that will remove really greasy prints. Lol

    It was a joke. "Stupid" doesn't have a double o.
