Bambooski Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Was this run over by a train or what? http://www.cointalk....73/#post1706003 Sorry for the link, I can't get my uploads to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yeah, could very well be. I have a Dutch "stuiver" (5 cent coin, pre euro) somewhere that I put on rail track long ago, looks kinda similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambooski Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Do you have a picture? I was surprised that mine managed to fit in the roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I smashed cents under "better" trains, like the SP 4449 and the UP 844 and still have them. Cannot imagine wanting a smashed coin from a diesel though. BTW Trantor, I was thrilled one time taking the train from Groningen back to Amsterdam in 1993 - seeing a small steam switcher still working some freight. I'd really like to see Nederlands Spoorweg Museum in Utrecht again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'd guess it was squeezed in a vise. You can still see the imprints from the teeth of the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Do you have a picture? I was surprised that mine managed to fit in the roll Here's mine. You can recognize a bit on the obverse, the hair net of Queen Juliana. the reverse is all gone. What is visible are imprints from irregularities in the surface of the track or the wheel. I do not remember which side was up when I put it on the track (was in the first half of the 1980's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
