Hope he kept it as a souvenir. Something like this also happened
during the
US civil war I believe involving a gold coin.

Not a coin but Andrew Jackson survived a duel over an insult to his
wife in an incident before he became president when the bullet glanced
off a metal coat button, he returned fire and killed the guy.

Also bibles, korans, wallets, lockets etc. Soldiers get hit all over the
place. Especially in the low velocity pue lead bullet days.

Billy Connolly once told a story about his grandfather when a bullet was
deflected by his cigarette case that stopped it going through his
heart......unfortunately it was deflected up his nose and it blew the
top of his head off! :-) Billy
