I hope this is sufficient but I can certainly try again if need be.

It is definitely worth a premium over face value but not enough to justify slabbing.

Your coin is not 70% out of rotation. a normal coin is 180 degrees out (reverse is upside down from the obverse)

Your is about 25% out from normal.

I'd say still worth putting in a 2x2. Nice find @camo and welcome to CCF.

The reverse looks odd to me. All around the rim looks like a "line" like it is PMD. Kind of like a magician coin? Weight?

Yes, the reverse is rather curious. Wouldn't be stunned if a magician coin treatment was attempted. Fun.

@john1, good eyes! I think you are right that this is a Magician's coin. @camo, the weight should be low on this.

It look like it is in fact a Magicians coin. While I haven't weighed it it does sound hollae and feel underweight. I haven't been able to get it apart yet but I'm sure at this point that that's what it is. Thank you all for the help!

Interesting coin. Let us know if you are able to separate the obverse from the reverse. As mentioned, the weight should tell us more.
