Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 04:53 am Welcome. Could it be a Magician's coin? Is there a seam on one face all the way round just inside the rim? Pictures of both faces would help decide. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 05:48 am @pshann, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @anaximander that pics of both sides would help us to figure out what you have there. Also, I would add that a pic of the edge could be useful. At least in US coinage, the older Magician's coins tend to have the seam in the middle of the edge rather than around the rim.

Pshann Valued Member Australia 119 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 07:07 am There is on the outer edge a defined line that looks like two coins have been joined but the width of the coin would suggest this is impossible Report this Post to the Staff

pwa 1967 Valued Member United Kingdom 190 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 08:03 am Yes its had the REV taken off both coins so they are both flat,then the two parts stuck together. The width then would be similar , its from 1895 -1901 and all have the same OBV although no reason why it wasnt done anytime after.

Anything imaginable that can be done to coins has been done-many times. Billions of coins and 100s of millions of people have used and abused coins in so many ways. Sometimes the effort is virtually a work of art, other times they are crudely smashed or holed. Edited by oriole 05/21/2019 09:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
