<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2638668, member: 84179"]You're right about your luck. The coin was damaged after it left the mint. Someone pounded down the edges. That's why it's a smaller than a regular cent. WWII servicemen would to use a spoon to tap the edges of a silver half dollar to make rings (some people still do this). Once it was the right diameter the would drill the center.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
