Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/27/2008 04:31 am Hi Scotty Welcome to the forum . Your coin is more than likely what is called a Magicians coin ,,or novelty coin . If you look closely around the edge of the coin on one side or the other you will see where the two were joined together . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/27/2008 11:58 am I don't beleive there are ANY certified examples of coins with both sides the same. I believe it's safe to say with 100% certainty that any coin of this nature is manufactured outside the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
scotty New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/27/2008 2:55 pm Thanks for the replies about the quarter (and for bursting my bubble)It does feel lighter than a regular quarter, however the copper clad in the middle looks realistic. Thanks again, scotty. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/27/2008 2:59 pm Im sure that the two halves are real quarters ,,just one is hollowed out and the other shaved down to go inside . those coins cost about 5 dollars at a novelty shop so its not like its not worth a little something as a novelty ,,just not worth anything as a coin .

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/28/2008 01:31 am Actually, there are certified examples. Still, the coin in this thread is probably a Magician's coin http://www.coinworld.com/news/071006/bw_0710.asp There are also 1980 Canadian cents, I believe with two reverses that have been certified. Also, in 2001 a two-tailed quarter and a two-tailed dime were certified by NGC Edited by foundinrolls 01/28/2008 01:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
