<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigd, post: 111329, member: 1800&quot;]Drill bit????? Come on people.&nbsp; Lets see someone create this damage with a drill.&nbsp; Pliers???? Has anyone tried it?? I sure did. i tried 8&quot; needlenose which barely made a scratch then I broke out 14&quot; channel lock pliers. still can not squeeze enough to nearly sever the coin. I&#039;m a fiirly buff 265 lb and can not even begin to squeeze this much.&nbsp; A punch????? these lines are precisely, to within one thousanths of an inch, mirror images on each side with the exact same marks on each line on both sides. One line is weak on obv as well as equally weak on rev. Duplicate that. Tools will cause a shiny scraped type damage but these lines, under a microscope, are un marked, full lustered indents. I respect your guys input but there has got to be a few experts out there that can surely discredit these ideas. I do not know what caused this but am trying some things ya&#039;ll are saying and there is no way that these are educated, (numismatically anyways) guesses because their simply impossible. Thanks for all the opinions though. any more ideas out there will be appreciated. bigd[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
