<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1137062, member: 19463"]I have a Lincoln cent that has been turned on a lathe so that the recess will accept a dime. The copper edge is not easily seen at a distance so it was good for kid level magic tricks. I do not know if it was for magic tricks or an exercise in precision lathe work just to prove you could. My photo shows it with a very worn dime since new ones can be hard to get out. It was precision work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
