[QUOTE="adelv_unegv, post: 282692, member: 7247"]I feel guilty, being so brutal in my honesty, so I thought I'd come back and post some more. When I was three I remember a man nick-named "Dirty Harry" (with no relationship to the titular character played by Clint Eastwood) playing a magicians trick with a (machined) silver dollar and a dime. He would swirl both around in a skillet while talking and then there would only be the dollar.

Then he would swirl the skillet again (in the opposite direction, I believe) and there would be both the dime and the dollar again. A magicians trick. Used as an analogy. The point is, it's hard to tell from the picture of the coin, just what the purpose of the machining was. It is only obvious that someone took the time and trouble to machine it. Sorry.
