[@Joe_VanCleave]

Nice video, well done!

Thank you!

Might it be easier to use a piece of brass sheet metal? But well done anyway.

@@sparky60ful don't have brass sheet on hand. This is cheaper.

@@TypewriterChicago It won't be cheaper if the right person sees this video. That penny is government property, and defacing it is illegal. It's unlikely you'll get in trouble, but why risk it?

​@@fixitman2174 it's only illegal if your intent is to deceive. Otherwise it would be illegal to let you pocket change oxidize in the washing machine.
