herdman70 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/24/2016 09:27 am I just recently started collecting coins again, so I am still learning the terms and protocols for collecting. I ran across a Jefferson nickel that was a 1967 Jefferson Head on one side and a 1983P Jefferson Head on the reverse side. I have made photographs but still trying to figure out how to upload them. What kind of error? and the difference of 16 years make me wonder how did this happen? Any thoughts. I will post photos as soon as I learn how to upload the photos. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/24/2016 12:17 pm I have seen them in toy/novelty shops for about $5. Not necessarily part of a magic trick, I think the package says something like "Win every bet!" I found one in circulation a few years back. They are easy to miss if you aren't careful.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/24/2016 12:22 pm That's a fun find! Not really valuable -- but fun. My first Magician's coin was a quarter with heads on both sides. At the time I didn't realize it was impossible for the mint to produce such an error so I was really excited -- until I saw that the Mint Marks didn't match. I still have it ... somewhere.... If you look carefully at the coin you should be able to find a seam on one side where the cut was made. Edited by Buddy 10/24/2016 12:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/24/2016 3:30 pm Actually it is not a win everytime coin. Most of the time, the chooser picks heads. So a better winner coin would be tails/tails. IMOHO Edited by coop 10/24/2016 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
