The coin is an 1879 silver dollar. Tory fires the Peacemaker with a real bullet. The bullet hits the very center of the coin, makes a huge dent, but fails to pierce it. The Navy Colt is next but it doesn’t make a hole either, just a dent. It seems like cowboy guns don’t have enough force.&nbsp; They get a 357 double action Magnum to see if a modern gun with higher velocity could do the trick.&nbsp; Bullseye! There is a hole. Tory hands over the coin to Kari and says, “You could make a necklace out of it!” <b>Myth busted as cowboy period guns were not powerful enough to put a hole into a silver coin.</b> :crying:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
