Ab2373 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 5:50 pm I found a 1968 d dime with a Wheat penny on the back. Has regular wear and tear for its age. Any idea on value? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 7:29 pm @Ab2373, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with the others that pics of your coin are important, although it does seem likely that you have found a so-called Magician's coin.

Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 8:12 pm Ah ok very interesting. From the edge, it looks like both coins were ground down and then bonded together to form a Magician's coin. We see this style sometimes, but more often the host coin will be hollowed out and the other coin is slid into that space. Yours is worth saving for the novelty--very nice pick-up!

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 8:13 pm The back of the dime was hollowed out and a Wheat cent was milled down to fit inside. There's a guy on ebay that makes them and sells them as a novelty Report this Post to the Staff

dsburton Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 12:01 am I received a double tails Kennedy half dollar from a bank one time. The Magician coins are a novelty, but are worth far more than face value to someone who wants one. Report this Post to the Staff
