Just proves there is a little history in every coin we find. My dad and a friend of his used to toss coin and shoot them with a .22 cal rifle. Dad's friend was a bit better at it than he was. It was cool to hear the coin zing off when hit, but the best were the coins they punched holes through.   07-06-2006, 04:42 PM   #6 (permalink) tdm Member     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: dmt zone in the southland ca Posts: 88 i have a quarter just like that. I shot it with my marlin 9 mm camp gun from about 30 yards out in the desert. didnt throw it in the air though, not that good of a shot. was lucky to find it in the dirt afterwords.   07-06-2006, 05:20 PM   #7 (permalink) jackeen Senior Member   Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 222 I blasted a quarter with my 155 mm howitzer.
