I found a completely featureless coin yesterday.
I was only out for about an hour and the pain in
the elbow on my swinging arm "right arm" became
so bad I had to stop. Anyone else deal with elbow
pain.

Have you tried soaking the coin in olive oil? Works pretty good for me. I also use a brass brush after soaking.
 
Take a couple of Advil before you go out....Matt
 
Joe:
A friend of mine had that same problem; ended up in surgery. He was advised to slow his swing speed down, especially at each 'turn'. Hasn't bothered him since.
 
I get those elbow pains quite often mding because of years of jui-jitsu. Sometimes I switch and swing lefty . I'm sure it looks funny because I can tell that its much sloppier and uneven compared to my right. But it keeps me out there swingin' away.
 
looks to me like a knockout slug from a electrical junction box , i see a million in my job ,we use to be able to fool the older soda machine with these ,they usually come in 7/8 or 1.1/8 diameter for 1/2 or 3/4 pipe but i have seen them up to 2 inch

ooooooo :o, no offense, but the brass brush will neutralize any value of a coin, beware. Just my opinion
 
WTG on that coin. You may also want to brace your elbow with an ace bandage, but do not wrap too tight.

I had to learn how to use the other arm. Switch arms every 2 hours or so... Its helps

I was thinking the same thing. No rim and totally smooth, has to be a slug.
 
What did said coin register or what does it register on your machine? It kinda looks like a slug to me too.
