For me ... using a 1938 D Indian head with a 1938 D Jefferson would
have made it even more interesting.


Except there'd be no way to ever know they both came from Denver.

Yes perfectly legal to do, especially when that one was probably made years ago. You can still do it today as well, you can do just about anything you want to with your coins, cut them up, cut them out, pound them out flat with a hammer, fold them up, dissolve them in acid, drill holes in them, but if they are cents or nickel five cent pieces it is illegal to MELT them. (Any other coin is OK to melt.)

Very cool find...and yes, legal.

The only time it is illegal to deface is when fraud is intended.

If you make a two headed coin so you can win more often when flipping and calling heads, is that fraudulent intent?

There is a magic shop near me and they have two headed or two tailed coins for sale all the time. What is amazing is how much they cost. Nor cheap at all.

I've found 2 such coins in my hunting over the past 21 months... both Jefferson nickels.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
