<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 24629900, member: 81991&quot;]The marks on the OP&#039;s 1982 coin where defiantly not made with a small pair of wire cutters or diagonal side cutters. Note how the displaced metal is all on one side of the deepest gouge on each side on the coin. This fact shows that the coin made a rotational motion as it was being pinched. That can not happen with side-cutters due to the fact they are a pinching tool and not a shearing tool.</p><p>&nbsp; If a macro photo was taken of inside of the gouge/groove in the ops coin, I am quite sure it would look like this. Note how the same micro grooves complete a full sweep from one side to the other with all the remove metal on one side.</p><p>It is more a scooping/gouging action than a pinching bite of a face to face tool that has sides that do not go passed each other.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1566569[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
