That's a great find! This is one of the coolest Magician's coins I've ever seen! Also, it's very well made. You can probably fetch a couple of dollars for this.  Errers and Varietys.

They sell at the shops for a lot more than that. That one maybe found easily during a coin toss. But what you really want is a Tails, tails coin. Why? Most people call heads on a coin toss.These are harder to detect:   You have to look for the split rim on these coins. Check image closely. |

Tom, I thought "Smoke'm" if you can call an A-10 in for support! Yes, that's very true!  The term was also used in boot camp. If you were a smoker, you got three smokes per day if you were lucky. One after each meal (chow call). The smokers had to eat much faster then the rest of us, so they could run outside, get in formation and "smoke one". Not me! |

Same date, band-sawed and glued, first one I've seen I worked in a metal shop before - had to be home shop guy. Hard to saw that thin with a metal bandsaw. Maybe someone working with a water jet than high strength metal epoxy - the seem (and the knowing this don't happen at the mint) tells you just a SBFA coin - well LJ isn't that knowledgeable. |

I was thinking the same thing. What the heck kind of blade and on what kind of machinery could/would cut that thing in half like that? More importantly, why? |
