BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 06/10/2016 2:51 pm This looks like a Magicians coin - part of 2 coins lathed to make a double headed coin. The yellow looks like some kind of adhesion used to stick the two halves together? There isn't exactly a way to strike a coin with 1 die and have the other side blank as one die serves as the hammer, and the other the anvil. The closest thing would be blockage, capped die, or struck through some flat piece of metal, but the design would still be noticeable. One way to tell is the weight, if the weight is reduced on the coin then in most cases it has been altered. Edited by BlueSolo 06/10/2016 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 06/10/2016 2:52 pm Welcome to the forum, your coin unfortunately is only worth 5 cents, because this is not a mint error. Someone has removed the one side. the process in which modern coins are produced works on 2 dies (obverse and reverse, or heads & tails) and the planchet sitting in the middle. the one die is forced onto the blank and with the force both sides are struck. (example try to clap with one hand, you cannot) Report this Post to the Staff
