The 2 pictures are the same coin. One side is Denver mint and the other side is a San Francisco mint. One side of the coin is upside down.

I will take a picture of the coin in front of a mirror so everyone can see both sides together.

If that is the case, then coin is altered as mentioned.

It is a Magicians two -headed coin...check the edge I bet there's a seem of two coins put together...I have a two-tailed one that way. Those/are the old way to do it. Can buy them for $3 from jakesMP.com  Edited by Crazyb0

This is the edge of the coin. I'm working on taking a mirror shot to show both sides perfectly  |

I don't think it's two coins together because it weights 2.86 grams

It is a crafted coin and been made outside of the mint, on the edge where there is a glare, you can see how the two coins been infused together.it is a cool find worth a few bucks .

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. Errers and Varietys.

 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. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

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.. Swamp PS: Yes -- nice photos, clara.. |
