silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 04/15/2019 8:16 pm could also be Magician's coins, missing the other side.. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/15/2019 9:55 pm Nice pick up, but I agree with the wolf that these are more likely one half of Magician's coins.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 08:48 am Sold at a magic shop near me. Also, they have other coins done the same way. Report this Post to the Staff
billymac11 Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 5:47 pm I have this with a dime that goes inside from a magic trick I got for Xmas in the 70s. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 6:36 pm A bit different than the Scotch and Soda trick. These pennies were hollowed out with no backplate made for them.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 6:43 pm Quite a remarkable find, six of these in 55,000 cents. I've probably searched 500,000+ wheats in my long life and never found one! Edited by Coinfrog 04/16/2019 6:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
1962penny Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 04/24/2019 4:09 pm these are awesome; do they command a premium? I would assume not since its basically just a damaged coin, but the craftsmanship and skill that went into making these is quite impressive. Report this Post to the Staff

I would say as a novelty item they can command a premium, but I'm not aware of anyone specifically collecting them. For example, you can purchase modern Magician's coins on ebay and elsewhere.
