The heavier the coin the more bag marks it will get. </p><p>I don&#039;t know if you have read the book by Jim Halperin, but if you haven&#039;t I&#039;ll post a link where you can read it for free.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if what I said made any &quot;cents&quot; or not---</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
