I think the indenter on the Rockwell machine is too pointed

If it was hit by a pellet or shotgun pellet there should be metal pushed out on the opposite side .

That might be true, lets see the reverse.

 

It was drilled fer sure!!

 

Rusty and Rockdude, the reverse doesn't show any signs. Don't have the time to get the camera out right now, or I'd show it to you. Mralexanderb, look at that first pic in this series--do you see that "graze?"--what caused that? Looks like maybe a pellet graze.

 

I don't think that would be the case, considering this is a soft metal.

 

I know on smaller coins like pennies a pellet will force the metal in the back out , but on a larger heavier coin like a silver dollar maybe not .

You're probably right .

Define "Pellet." Pellets from a shotgun blast would have more kinetic energy than an Airgun or a cartridge.

 

I'm thinking of the roundtip pellets from a decent powered pellet rifle at about 6-700 ft. per sec. some might even reach 800 only a little slower than birdshot .
