Used by Soviet intelligence to hide secret code film, like that nickel on Mysteries At The Museum?... Maybe

You have one half of a spy coin. The reverse of the coin was removed. Another coin would have been ground down to make a reverse for the half that you have.


Just do a search for 'spy coin' and you'll see plenty of examples.

Nice find!
To give you a better idea of what it is, take a look at some of these ebay auctions: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...ent&_sacat=0

Looks like a Magician's coin to me, IMHO.

Welcome to CCF, kellyg10 - . That is a spectacular find! All coins have stories attached to them but yours conjures tails of spies, espionage, cold wars, and secret messages. Your children and theirs are going to love hearing about the exciting adventures that may be part of this coin's history. And the best part is that you can make the stories as big as you want. Jack

Or it could be a Magicians coin, missing the cut down dime from the other side.
