The dia. in MO is .750. Do I win an amazing "out of the box rifle" that will shoot equally amazing 200 yd. 5 shot groups?

Duh...

Blush...

Grimmace...

But...I will admit when I am wrong...the penny is 3/4" not 1/2"...

Maybe that is why I always think I am being short changed?

Bill,

Is this a test to see how gullible we are?

I'll bite - 0.751 on a 1998 plain here in Cincinnati, OH.

Assuming you are trying to be accurate, or testing, there are no true US pennies in Texas, there are a few one cent coins. All the pennies(from pence)are foreign.

Reminds me of a joke:

Rich Texas Oilman goes on his first trip to New York, buys a Cadillac and has to pay a toll on one of the bridges, hands the toll taker a 100 dollar bill. Taker says, "Don't you have anything smaller?" Texas replies, "They make them smaller?"
