Whoever made it did an excellent job. I can't see a seam.

I found a magic coin like that months back. I dropped the
coin a few times on a piece of wood. The coin will come apart.

It sounds "muffled" when you drop on a hardwood table unlike the "cling" of a normal 90%er.

Remember, when such coins are made that the "seam" isn't on the edge, it would be too obvious there. What is normally done is one coin is hollowed out and the other is ground down, removing the rim. The seam is at the edge of the field at the base of the rim. It looks to me that it might be on the first image. There appears to be a solder line at the rim to field junction but you need to magnify this area better on both sides to tell which side it is on for sure.

Yes, very well made example! I think I see the seem along the rim of the first picture.

 That is pretty sweet, nice addition to a coin collection. do you mind me asking how you acquired it, that is how does someone get something like that? (probably ebay)

Thanks. I purchased it a few years back at a local coin show. Some dealers have marked boxes of coins. Well, this dealer had a box marked Kennedy halves 1964-1970. As I was going through it, I was pulling out all the 1964's he had, it was about 5. When I fliped this one over, I saw another obverse. He had all 5 marked at $2.50, I bought them all. swcoin.ecrater.com

I actually found the same exact coin while roll searching. It sounded like a 90%er and couldn't see any parts of the coin that were put together. Here is the thread on it and I had posted pictures of the coin: \ https://goccf.com/t/59337 |
