If you use the search function at the top left of your screen with the key words Magician's coin, you can find several other examples to compare against yours.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 9:25 pm moxking, I used to think the same thing because I imagined someone at a workbench with some little Dremel tools. But my husband does some business with some tool and die makers and he says they could make both sides in a matter of seconds with the programmable machines they use. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, but these were made almost a hundred years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
