Nice rig and good shoot. Isn't there something about defacing US currency that is illegal? it's only illegal if done fraudulently... you can stop at any theme park. museum, or turnpike rest stop and turn a penny into a keepsake, as long as you don't try to spend said penny or roll a nickle into a quarter or turn an ordinary coin into a "double stamp" or other rare collector's coin, you're not in violation of the law... From US Mint website Although altering and defacing United States coinage generally is not illegal, doing so violates a Federal criminal statute (18 U.S.C. § 331) when the act is accompanied by an intent to defraud. Accordingly, a person is committing a Federal crime if he or she intentionally alters an ordinary Presidential $1 Coin to make it look like an error coin for the purpose of selling it at a premium to someone who believes it to be a real error coin. Under this statute, it is also a Federal crime to sell at a premium an ordinary Presidential $1 Coin that one knows has been altered so it looks like an error coin to someone who believes it to be a real error coin. Penalties include a fine and up to five years in prison.
actual US Code (Text as of 2/19/02) 18 U.S.C. §331:
Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled or lightened - shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

A penny does not leave room for error, the guy who done it , I only seen the penny at the local gun shop, I know the guy who lost the bet but unfortunately I never did get the chance to talk to the guy who shot it before he passed away. |

I MIGHT be able to do that with my Remington 700. That quarter was done with irons on my CAI r1a1 at 50yds leaning on a table. I was surprised that it shot so well. It was three shots you can see in the picture. |

It was three shots you can see in the picture. The story behind the penny at the local shop was one shot 100yds and a $100 bill, the shooter was one of the national winners back in the 50s or 60s but I can not remember his name. I think he was using a 22-250 bench gun, my gunsmith said he was getting up in years when he did it in the 80's. I will ask him what his name was next time I see him, I think he said something about being one of the first civilians to win one of the trophies. My best shot was a sparrow out of the air with a 22lr at roughly 50 yards one shot. |
