I've no clue what VAM-7 has to do with this coin looking like a birdshot victim. You should look closer; the VAMworld plate coin demonstrates none...
I know a guy on another forum who's doing a Lowball set of these. You should see them in P01. :)
An iPhone can easily outdo that. Bet the guy's knife couldn't draw blood either. But he probably thinks it's sharp.
The best among us cannot offer concrete advice from anything less than large high-resolution images. I'm sure you get that, but I would feel like...
