<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1238565, member: 17919&quot;]First, the coin is well below the standard weight of a zinc cent (2.5 grams versus 2.34 grams). Second, there is no rim on the shaved side, it is completely smooth and the zinc is exposed. Third, I saw kids doing that sort of thing all the time in machine shop class. Even the instructor gave a demonstration in shaving metal using a coin, with remarkable results. Given the way that coins are minted, there is almost no way that one side can be given a sharp design while the other side remains completely smooth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
