<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blasty, post: 7743600, member: 38375&quot;]That was someone&#039;s fun little project. I have on occasion meticulously &quot;modified&quot; a coin on purpose, for no other reason than to make someone look twice and perhaps find it interesting. I have one in the piggy bank now that will go out someday...</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not do this coin below, but it is one of my everyday carry wallet pieces. Your interesting cent reminded me of it. Somebody painstakingly filed little saw teeth around the entire reverse of this 1780 4 Reales piece a very long time ago, probably when it was still circulating money. I don&#039;t believe they intended to debase the coin (eg: clipping), since they also cut their initials in the obverse. Probably a lucky piece for them, too.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/1780_4r_rev-jpg.1325771/?temp_hash=c04b64378e8b6d9e627628d38f9203f1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
