<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1409560, member: 13650&quot;]This is a really cool find.&nbsp; It&#039;s usually anybody&#039;s guess as to why somebody would gouge into coins when they are found like this.&nbsp; It may have been they were practicing on the coin to make a pattern on something else.&nbsp;&nbsp; I doubt it is the case with this, but sometimes they may be gouged from somebody suspecting it to be a counterfeit.&nbsp; This would have been low value enough to where I couldn&#039;t see somebody making a contemporary copper plated coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; It could be a stamp from some old store or it could have just been a kid being a kid, gouging the coin back then.&nbsp;&nbsp; Entertainment options were far fewer back then. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
