Jdm7985 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 10:32 am I have recently started collecting and my interest is more towards the Lincoln wheat pennies. I have come across what I believe to be an error but I'm insure. The penny has just the wheat side on it the other side is hollow almost as if the penny was made in two pieces. I can't find any info anywhere about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I will post a picture in a few moments. Report this Post to the Staff

Jdm7985 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 11:16 am That's why I was asking I didnt know if they were made in two pieces or not. I know it's not a Magicians coin. That I'm sure of. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 11:31 am Coins are struck from solid pieces of metal. You do indeed have either half of a magician's/trick coin or a coin that was defaced with a lathe. The lathing process is also used to make a Magician's coin. Report this Post to the Staff
