<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1759233, member: 15199&quot;]Tom, when I was starting out many decades ago, I had a hard time with some of the mint mark alterations people could do on coins, so I ground the points on fine dental picks&nbsp; ( old ones from my dentist) to resemble very small wood working chisels, planes, scribners, etc. and practiced pushing coin letters, mint marks, details, etc. Just wanted to see how it worked, and it wasn&#039;t tough to do, just would take a lot of practice to be more perfect. I think of that experiment when I think of altered ( purposely or by damage).&nbsp; Use a pre 1982 cent to practice on <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
