    That animation movie with the panda. There was a snake. That is all I remember but looks like that snake. ;)

    Edit to add. King Fu Panda. The Viper.

    Do you always turn your coins upside down to then impart a great deal of imagination? I guess looking at all those errors does that to ya... :o

    @ErrorsOnCoins If I did not know that was metal (ASE) I would have thought that someone took a shot at a granite/stone statue, small caliber bullet strike.

    Actually, it is an alien spacecraft as seen in a different example, as it moves across the sun morphing into a different shape as it goes ....

    The first strike through does resemble a sea horse, or a snake.... a member here for many years (@Shironichan) had a snake for his icon...reminds me of him.... Neat find, more interesting than most strike troughs...Cheers, RickO

    Here is another retained stuck thru silver dollar. I usually want to know all information about a coin, but in this case, I am not sure that I want to know what the retained piece is ...... :D
