Well for the pattern of the shot to be tight enough to actually blast a chunk out of the coin like that - it had to be shot at close range. And if a shooter were to have placed the coin stationary and then shot it - he would have been hit by the richochets and not many shooters are that foolish.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish to know even more - just look at the size of the pellet marks. I'd have to guess about #7 shot was used - typical for a bird hunter, probably quail or dove. You can verify this easily enough - stop by a gun shop some day with the coin. They'll have bags of shot there in various sizes. Just place one of the pellets into that mark there between the E in ONE &amp; the C in CENT - you'll have your confirmation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
