actually you can, when two planchets go into the die together it is possible... it would result in one coin with a blank reverse and one with a blank obverse...because the guy I bought it from had another coin with the reverse blank... or am I mistaken?
If two planchets went into the die together, both inside faces would have some transfer from the pressure, and both would have railroad rims (see glossary).
If you weigh your piece, it's prolly significantly lighter than normal, from being filed down.
that makes sense. I just read that they used to file down some pennies and half pennies for a kind of pub game or something.. I got this when I first started collecting and was a bit umm.. excitable and naive. Ah well...
