The edge can also be protected while someone uses a Dremel to do the damage. There are many attachments that can get into small areas to grind, buff, polish, etc. As far as presses go, I have a 12 ton press in my shop and if you look around say at garages, body shops and the like you will find much bigger ones. These can easily flatten a coin. Why someone would do this is beyond our knowledge but they do. Just idle hands and tools to experiment with. I used to put cents on the rail road tracks when I was young to see if I could get the elongated effect, but the trains were so heavy they obliterated the design which is the effect I was looking for-flattened and still identifiable. I did not do this for very long though as a comic book at 12 cents was much more to my liking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
