Pretty week shot... maybe a... .38?

 

[Siegfried Schlagrule]

army air corps were armed with .38 police specials and .45 automatics for flight crews. Suspect this is an edge hit from a 45. siegfried schlagrule

I know i've found other shot coins but this was the only one I could find now. It's a 1977 clad penny and took a pretty bad hit and knocked quite a hole in old Abe.

Abe thats a good one. 8) aa

That's a bullet shot coin like others have said, I've shot enough to tell that.

 

[QUICKSILVER (appletree)]

It looks like a hydraulic press may have done this.

 

[romeo-1]

Yep...definitely shot...I have a couple as well...
