Bullet shot coins - here's mine - let's see yours

I have found three bullet shot coins in my TH'ing career.
Two are just about dead center, nice shots, the other a bit off center.

One is a Franklin Pierce Cracker Jack presidential medal collector piece.

Then there's a Red Goose Shoes, $1.00 token, perfectly on center.

Finally, a 1867 Indian Head penny. Nice shot!

All these were found at old home or farm sites.

I would like to see your bullet holed coins. Please share them here and the story about how you found them.

I wish I had a scanner for better resolution, but here's the best I could do with my camera.

HH to all!
Smiles!

I do not have any bullet shot coins but I did find a flattened quarter with the impression of a nickel on it. I guess some child put a quarter and then a nickel on it on a set of RR tracks and a train ran over it.

I did however find a 45 bullet in Germany that looks like it was hit by another 45 bullet.

I thought there was another post on here with more photos from other members but I couldn't find it so I will post this here. Here is a quarter I dug that was used for target practice.This is the best I could do with my camera-

Two recent finds. A modern quarter and a wheat penny.

Have found a bunch of these here on the island. Billy Hill lived here and used to work for Remington Arms and did demo shoots for them with Annie Oakley.(reportedly outshot her).

Here's mine found in 1985 or 1986 . It's a 44 or 45 penny.

Mainedigger - That Remington Arms token, for a lack of a better word, is one of the sweetest things I've seen, and with that history - Wow !
