the chances of it being a Magician's coin (2 faces from 2 different coins stuck together) are phenomenal. the only way to help would be to post QUALITY photos....if it is a genuine example struck with dies showing the same design Eg. a coin with 2 heads it will be of GREAT numismatic importance. don't get your hopes up though....we see these often here and it never ends with a real, valuable error.

good places to take pictures of will be the edge of the coin and the rim.

It does not come apart, it weighs the same as nickel and when you turn it over Jefferson is correct side up. Each side has it's own wear just like a 25 year old coin would have. I will try to down load photos tonight if I can't I will be able to tomorrow. I've seen thousands of nickels and this looks like a normal coin only with two obverses.

Do you see a seam near the edge? It might be glued.

Thank You Ken for the reference on the video, and information. That was cool! I am still going to download photo of edge and rim, as whoever made this did one heck of a job. Just want second and third opinions. Never know, some employee may have done this un purpose for a joke. One side definitely has a different rim appearance, but it is so slight. Photos to come.

Note on this one how the coins were put together:  Note the rim on the rim of the reverse? This is what they look like before they put them together:  Sometimes they are altered with reducing the two coin by making them thinner:    |

At least they used the same date and mint mark. Looks real phoney when they don't.
