Initially I thought the D was snapped into the reverse of the S.. I still lean in that direction, but someone did a good job making the inside of both rims look the same..

Assuming this to be the case:

The reason your coin weighs light is because the rim of the D coin has been removed -- along with its reverse so it can snap into the reverse of the S cent -- which has had its center routed out to a depth equal to the removed thickness on the D cent and in width to its rim's inner edge..

It's a Magicians coin and is Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It does have some value though, since it's a coin, used for magic.

with Swamp on how this was pulled off. I have a small metal mini lathe. Might try to pull one of these off. Neat idea for a project.

Btw great pictures in the mirror.

Cool..! There's a vid somewhere on YouTube of a guy making Magician's coins.. He's popping quarters into Sacawagea (yes, I do realize how that sounds lol, & probably mis-spelled Saca too..) You'll be able to see how he makes his; eliminate some trial-and-error..

PS: Yes -- nice photos, clara..
