Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 2:51 pm Obviously a fake. Doesn't look anything like a real cent. The style and positioning of the lettering is all wrong (the O's and C's in ONE CENT are way too round, and USA is a completely different font), and the fact that it is magnetic is a dead giveaway. The hollowed out side makes me think it could have been either some kind of Magicians coin, or possibly decoration for something. Either way, the coin itself was not ever a product of the US mint.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 4:03 pm its part of a Magicians coin, it has been hollowed out on a mill. The other half probably looked like a dime (or another tails of a cent) and it fit inside that one Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 4:03 pm The cent is not real. It doesn't look real and it's magectic is the clincher. I'm assuming it was intended to be used as a Magicians coin Pics fixed Report this Post to the Staff
coinmaniac1 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 7:38 pm I've seen this before. It's one half of a Magician's coin or "spying" coin. It has two sides, hollow on the inside, that can be put together. Report this Post to the Staff
