Isn't it a crime to deface legal currency?

That coin was already on its death bed and I simply put it out of its misery :diablo: :angel:
Not too shabby a shot at 100m :ok:
I assume the 50c then had a burial down a mine shaft?

100m..if ya want it too look like that other coin you'll have to put the big gun away and pull out the old .22 at ya 100m or take target to 1.5km away :)

What a waste of a perfectly good round.
