Message:: [QUOTE="Pepperoni, post: 439009, member: 5520"]Bullet hole .375 would be a .375 H&H of .375 Weatherby and another one or two that use that bullet. They put out over 4000ftlbs of energy give or take a bit. A 9mm .355 Armour piercing round should do it. If not a .357 or .357 110gr A/P from a revolver or rifle would do it because of the high silver content of the coin. A coin will stretch  when struck by a bullet until it penetrates . Thus leaving the raged tear on the reverse.A .22 at point blank range, of new design, will penetrate a near uncirculated buffalo nickel. Usually the stretching of the material leaving a hole much larger then .22. That hole was an angle shot if it is a shot, and smaller diameter projectile from european manufactures would also probably make a hole. You can see stretching at the rim which could have forced the path of the projectile.The 7.62 x25 fired from a CZ52 with an 85 grain FMJ bullet at 1600+ FPS also would be a guess. It looks like a bullet hole 75%, or a die punch, 25%. My opinion only.[/QUOTE]
