US victory nickel 1911, the insert is a 1928 penny, plated and stamped as a nickel. Unless its a real rarity? Pretty cool huh?! Report this Post to the Staff

Cant think of any other use for it... My collection on Numista page: 7500 different coins and counting... https://en.numista.com/echanges/pro...hp?id=129798 Report this Post to the Staff

mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 10:45 am I believe it is a spy coin of some sort. Type it in a search engine and a lot pop up. They are used to hide things in. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 4:39 pm I've seen several Magician's coins and yours are the oldest. I have a Kennedy half that opens up but there's only room inside for microfilm....spy coin? They're fun to have. Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 5:29 pm I received 2 similar halves in junk silver. A 2 headed 1964 Kennedy half as well as a 1964 Kennedy half with a Franklin liberty bell reverse. Both of these were put together perfectly Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: US victory nickel 1911, the insert is a 1928 penny, plated and stamped as a nickel. Don't light it. Just a V or Liberty nickel, not victory. The 1928 cent hasn't been plated, just attached to the reverse of the nickel after it was sanded down. Quote: I believe it is a spy coin of some sort. Not a spy coin. There would be no point in putting the cent in there, it would only take up space. Quote: I have a Kennedy half that opens up but there's only room inside for microfilm....spy coin? Yep! Quote: Poor mans opium dollar? Nope, see spy coin explanation. Nice find, and pretty old magic trick. Report this Post to the Staff
