Thanks folks! I think I am going with Magician's coin for this one as I doubt it was made to be a counterfeit and sold. |

Fake. If you do a search you'll find it for sale for less than 10 real dollars.

That Etsy coin looks exactly like this one! I figured there were more of these out there but great to verify that. |

That seller has quite the selection of double-sided coins as well as other bizarre coin constructions. And in case anyone had not yet figured it out, Quote:

With a ping tone test it must be remembered that lots of fakes also give a nice metallic ring,
however,
what you should be listening for is the difference in the pitch (higher or lower note variation against what is produced by a known genuine coin).
For some cast coins there is no metallic ring, but for diecast coins it is highly possible that a good metallic ring is possible.
That is why a difference in pitch against genuine should be listened for.

So I guess requesting to see the reverse of the coin is a mute point.
This is a very interesting item.

I think you mean "moot point".  |

it's not bad visually. I bought 2 fake Peace dollars (on purpose) a couple of years ago that were produced to look like a "super clash". The eagle reverse was clearly visible inside the deeper parts of Lady Liberty's design. (Weights were only around 19 g.) Quote:

We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
