OK, gather around kiddies, I have a story to tell!!
A few years back Mr Paseo (Ray), took a Mad Marty weenie coin out to the range and shot it! He then sent the slab back to me, well as you all know I can be a bit of a smart ass every once in a while so when the slab arrived I called NGC and talked to Rick Montgomery and asked a simple question. If a slab and coin in a NGC holder were damaged can I send it in and have NCS reholder it? He stated yes, so I sent it in. Well, I never received the coin back from NGC, a guess after the graders finished laughing they hung the coin on the wall of shame! So I lost my coin. Well now coming home from Iraq (Yes, it was shot in Iraq). I present our own sharpshooters replacement "shot in the ass weenie coin"!!!

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

<< <i>I doubt if CAC would sticker that coin. >>
How about this one!!!
You could have made up a cool story about how some soldier over there got this one from a family member and carried it in his shirt pocket.
You could go on about how he got caught up in a firefight and was shot but the slabbed weeniecoin saved his life by taking the shot in the butt, so he didn't take it in the heart.
Oh well, it's too late to make up a fantastic story now. We know the truth.
At least Ray Paseo had the decency not to take away his manhood.

<< <i>That wound is too small in caliber to be from a military weapon. I think some one is either pulling your weenie, or else the shooter is carrying an unauthorized weapon over there. >>
I have no reason to question Ray on this one. There were more pics... But due to security I can't post them... But I do hear that Gitmo is nice this time of year!!!
Nice shot Ray!

having watched the military channel for some time
military rifles are small caliber, high velocity these days.
amazing...makes me wonder how you could assemble a holed type set by range and calibur that might drop some jaws
goodthing you're on our side too
and marty...ya would think if ncs knew tha story of that being a 1/2 mile shot...you'd get yer coin back as they may not chance being on that someones hit list
That's a beauty, Marty...thanks for sharing.
<< <i>Note to self....
DO NOT pi$$ off MrPaseo...

And dont carry a madmarty coin in pocket he does not like them.
Hoard the keys.
This was hit with iron sites from 50Yards. I could hit a lot further but they do not allow me to shoot outside the range unless it's a bad guy...
If I put a 68 on... forget it, I can hit three rounds on a dime.
I do not know why I can shoot well, I just ge into a zone. I don't have any special training.

Pretty cool, though.

<< <i>I think a strongly worded note to NGC stating that the coin wasn't a gift to them, and that you'd like it in an NCS "Proof Details - Holed in Iraq" or "... Holed at 60 paces" holder might get your coin back. You did pay for return shipping, right?
Pretty cool, though. >>
No, never paid for any shipping other than getting it there. If they want it on the wall, that is fine with me... I'll have another coming soon.
Soldiers Name, Caliber, shot at certain location, and distance.
To be printed on the slab. Of course the coin would have to be sent from Iraq and have the Iraq postage on it.
It's an interesting thought but I'm not sure anyone (TPG) would feel comfortable holdering such a coin. I would deffinantly like to have one slabbed for memorabilia.
Thanks everyone for posting,
Ray
We have some 100MPH tape, it's strong but the stickiness will not stick to the slab. Hopefully this will buffer it enough so I can hit the coin, pull the tape off and the slab will still be in one piece.
Just thinking about the future, we call it forward thinking
Ray
and you are one of um
Missed it by *that* much !

1. This is the funniest post I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
2. Ray, thank God you're on our side!
3. You answered this question a couple of posts up: It's an entry wound not an exit wound.
Cheers!
