Forgive me for not introducing myself or posting before going straight for specific information... hopefully this is a "nice" board. I found it going through some bank rolls. Please let me know... I don't even know what to call it... Thanks! sgd Report this Post to the Staff

I am not an expert so maybe I'm wrong. They will chime in soon I'm sure... Report this Post to the Staff
Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 9:11 pm can you get a closer image of the obverse.... i think someone milled out the obverse,..... it doesn't look capped or a broakage without a better look at the obverse....Wild Bill Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 9:30 pm As mentioned above, it is one half of a Magician's coin. One side is machined out and either another reverse is put in to make a coin with 2 reverses or I have also seen a dime put in. Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 08:47 am For future posting: 6mb is totally unnecessary for images. To show what was needed, 50k (less than 1% as big) would be plenty. The first step is to crop to just the coin. Over 90% of your images are background. Use http://www.irfanview.com easy, fast, free.
