biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 11:30 am It is not a mule or any other type of error, it is two coin halves adhered together. It is not the type of magician coin used for scotch and soda(two halves that are machined to fit inside of each other) but it could still be considered a trick coin and it would be worth a few dollars as a novelty.

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 2:18 pm Since you can't have two reverses on an authentic coin, it is two coins sanded/filed down and then glued together. Put it in a bowl of acetone for a few hours/days and they might separate. Edited by wquinn 04/10/2012 2:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure what kind of "result" you're looking for, here was the answer in the last post: Quote: That is indeed a piece of a Magician's coin as they are called. That piece would fit into a manufactured, hollowed out cent obverse. That way when the insert (your piece) is turned in one direction, it will look like a normal cent. When the magician wants to produce a dime, he flips the piece over inside the shell of the Lincoln Cent that was hollowed out and just shows the dime side to the person being tricked:-) The explanation is partially correct, about what the other part is, but it misses how the trick works. The magic-can shows the hollowed out cent obverse (the other part of the trick) and the dime side of your piece (with the reverse face down in his hand). Adding some patter about how money just seems to disappear, he closes his hand around the two pieces, sliding the dime part inside the hollowed out part of the cent shell. When he opens his hand, his 11¢ is now 1¢, the shell obverse, the previously unseen reverse, and the hidden dime inside the shell. Report this Post to the Staff
