<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 484081, member: 15518"]Cutting a chamfer as shown on both sides of the coin wouldn't be the simpliest thing in the world to do, but I think it could be done. You would need to "machine" a holder</p><p>using material (aluminum?) larger than the diameter of the coin. Then counterbore a pocket approximately 2/3 the thickness of the coin and maybe ten thousandths less than the diameter (so the coin cound be tapped into place to secure). An ejection pin hole must be drilled thru the holder. Place in a lathe, cut the chamfer, eject the coin and repeat on the other side. This would result in a chamfer that was running perfectly concentric arounding the circumference of the coin. Seems like alot of work to me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
