What a waste of a perfectly good 50c piece.

Isn't it a crime to deface legal currency?

It would be if it was defaced, but clearly that is not the case:

"EXCELLENT COND
VERY HIGH GRADE"

It must be true... says so right there on eBay, right?

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
