Title: Coin Head Modification
Post by: Yoeddy1 on September 29, 2010, 02:12:12 PM
Hey guys,

I was informed by another memeber that a nickel sized coin head can be modified to accept quarters by "grinding it."  Anyone done this?  If so, any tips on tools to use, where to grind, etc?  I have a perfectly brand new low profile nickel head and if I can go this route as opposed to buying a new one, I would rather go that route and save the $.

Thanks,
Jason

Jason      I've did it many times.  You must remove the back plate from the head. The back plate is the part you will be grinding on. Place a quarter on it and you can see what metal has to be removed.  I use my bench grinder, a file will work if you have plenty of time.
