WOW!! Very nice find! I would keep just for the workmanship in it! To be pretty much spot on in weight is seriously magical by itself!! Just my 2 Lincolns though. :-)

Quote:It would be a waste of money but I would be curious if or how a TPG'er would certify/label this? I've wondered that. I found a 1964 Jefferson a few months ago that was double headed. I should have sent it in yesterday with another batch just to see how it would be graded. Maybe next round! And congrats on that find, excellent! |

Probably sacrificed two host coins and used a lathe to plane them both down. Then loctite to hold it together.
There are whole series of videos on YouTube on how to do this kind of machining. I happen to like "ClickSpring".

Haven't attempted to take it apart and probably won't try. It's in pretty good shape and don't want to jack it up

For a DIY'er this would simply be a good challenge. If I was interested in doing it, I might try by drilling a hole in a piece of hardwood (better soft aluminum) to half-of-half dollar depth, put strong adhesive in the hole, insert a half and allow glue to thoroughly dry. Hold the block coin-side down on a (mounted - would not try it with a handheld) belt sander and sand away until no coin is sticking out of the hole. Apply solvent, remove half-of-half dollar, repeat with another block and half dollar. Combine two halves-of-halves with glue. Problems I foresee are keeping the block as level as I would desire while sanding. To which I would then devise some sort of shims along the edges of the block that would stabilize while sanding and also be progressively sanded away. I spend too much time at instructables.com  |
