I was just wondering if I could shoot a 12 through one at work today.
Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

  • Too bad Dog...I think I recognize that coin as a very rare variety...would have
    been worth a fortune without the damage...

    Dog, was that with a pneumatic nail gun or with a ramset?

    Dog,

    Anybody can do zinc, but can you do copper. Those zinc things are like crushing aluminum cans, mere childs play. image

  • That looks like the ultra rare no chin variety.image

    Might as well blow torch it to add some beautiful toning.

    Looks like a successful test. Try to do 8 of them. (An eight penny nail?)

    In a hundred years or so, Lord Marcovan's great great grandkid will probably want to sew that coin on a vest! image

    Probably in bad taste to do a Lincoln or a Kennedy.

    But I'd donate an Ike to the causeimage

    Did the nail pass all the way through on its own or did you remover the nail from the coin before scanning? What type of nail did you use? OK I see it was a 12 penny so you removed the nail then because the hole doesn't look large enough to pass the head of a 12 penny nail.

    I think that you should nail a penny to to each of the support columns that you put on those houses dog!!!

  • When I was younger, I remember taking a good pair of scissors and cutting a zinc penny into a nice spiral. Wish I had a picture.
