<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1446, member: 112&quot;]Nope - I aint buyin it. I understand the point about both sides being marked - so it has been shot twice - most likely one shot right after the other. Again the pattern of the shot on each side tells the tale. One pattern is very close - the other is more spread out which would indicate and increased distance for the second shot. And there is deformation at some marks and not at others. This can be explained easily enough. The shot is lead - much softer than the copper clad zinc. So if the coin was not hit squarely by all the shot - which it would not have been given the nature of a shot pattern - some parts may deform and others not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having actually shot at coins before - I can testify to similar markings. And if that coin had been placed in an acid solution - the markings would not look like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
