Kehinnc New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 11:05 pm I came into possession of this Ike today and quickly noticed the Medal orientation. Its not the most handsome Ike coin but does the orientation error hurt or help the value? The pictures were taken while rotating the coin on the 3 and 9 o'clock axis. All replies are greatly appreciated and thanks to all. Report this Post to the Staff

Other than a nice rotated die error, there is a possibility of a coin (or two) being sliced in half and put back together that way. Or, a coin that is lathed out so that another can fit inside of it, called a Magician's coin.

Kehinnc New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 09:45 am The edges look intact with no splice marks or deformities. I do now question the rim interior edge of the obverse. I almost see an edge when looking at it magnified. Could this be a sign of the magician coin? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
