<p>[QUOTE="Exodus_gear, post: 7723227, member: 35783"]I remember reading a bit back about some theories as to how these holes or dimples came to be on coins. One theory stated that it could have been caused by a lathe like apparatus, they would use it to try and round the edges off. Second is that using the tongs to grasp the coin while it was still super hot, though this one didn't make much sense to me as you would assume it would appear on both ends of the coin and not just one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
