Oops, I just noticed a goof on my templates. Skipped the Flying Eagle cent. And I just bought a holey EF example. Back to the drawing board, to...
That can indeed be a challenge. The back of my desk chair is tattered from cat claws.
Since @SensibleSal66 gave me the pointer on that website and I bought a bunch of stuff, including several upgrades, I'm sending Sal some of the...
Likewise, and ditto.
No, @HoledandCreative is the TRUE king of problem coins. Trust me on that. ;) He's got stuff that's way high-dollar, even holed.
Extra crud on the reverse, is all. The beard is as it is supposed to be. There's a whole thread about neckbeards, as it happens.

If anybody wants to try this themselves, I’m happy to share the Word document for those backpaper templates. Just print, cut out, add your own...

Look, after the baking and two soaks and two rubs! I’ve got it in vinegar now. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
There might be hope yet. Acetone did nothing, but I baked the coin in a very hot oven for 20 minutes or so, then cooled it off in the freezer....
Huh? We've got 'em all over the place. But our dog kills them if they're unfortunate enough to get into the yard. But what's that got to do...
XF40. I'm not sure whether -details or straight graded. It appears to have been cleaned and there's a lot of surface chatter, though both are...
