Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 06:51 am @c23, it would be helpful for you to post a link to this auction, but I would say in general that all two headed coins are post-mint constructs (not mint errors). Typically, these so-called Magician's coins are created by either sanding two coins down and sticking them together or hollowing out one coin and placing a reduced diameter, second coin in the resulting pocket.

Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 07:07 am Ok perfect thx--yes that appears to be a Magician's coin. Fun and interesting, but just not numismatically valuable.

Chicago23 Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 8:48 pm bought a memorial 2 reverse coin a month ago for 2 dollars. It was a jewelers on the side coin collection. I figured for that price I could roll the dice Edited by Chicago23 03/29/2020 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
