Look at the strange3 bars in the fields on both sides. https://www.auctionninja.com/the-pi...4230823.html Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 10:23 am Yeah, there are lots of raised 'stuff' on both sides. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25241 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 10:29 am It's hard to believe that they would have made entirely fake coins rather than grinding off the reverse of Two Cents and gluing them together. But it seems that's what they did. Images for posterity: Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 677 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 5:08 pm You would think the color would be the same on both sides if it was struck. Could be a machinist special where Two Cents are machined in a lathe, so they fit together. If you could see the edge you could tell for sure. That is my guess.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 11/11/2025 07:48 am One might question what writing is on the other side of the flip - a prominent notation of ' Magician's coin'? Seems the seller only wants buyers to see one side. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
