Planchet Error? Nickel Reverse And Penny Reverse...

Sorry I stalled, my collection was put away and I have a family and a busy job to contend with. In any case, the nickel was the female. As you can see, whomever made this cut the rim off the nickel to nearly the size of the penny, hollowed it out, and put in the female half of the penny into the hollowed out S series Jefferson War Nickel (only during WW2 were the nickel mint marks placed in that position)

Definitely some fine craftsmanship if you ask me. Of course, I can't stand it when coins are damaged intentionally, but this is pretty cool even if its worth nothing.

I don't mind at all Richard.

The overall thickness is less than either a penny or a nickel. Comparable to a dime.

That is quite possible, Seal006, however I would add that if you rub your fingernail on the edge, along the whole edge, the nickel's diameter is very slightly and evenly larger than the penny edge.

That's really cool. Thank you for including my weird coin into your DVD.

i have one that is very similar that was either glued or put together somehow...it was a very old job....it was a Mercury dime reverse with Wheat cent obverse...it was pretty odd to find in a roll of pennies haha

What is a female half of a coin?

On this coin a dime will fit into the reverse.

I have a magicans coin lik the one coop just posted. It was a nice find in change. Kinda nifty.
