This Lincoln Cent contains two observe sides: a 1914 and a 1919-S. Is this possible, or am I dreaming? Is the legitimate, or a fake?   Edited by crh2020 09/09/2020 02:13 am

Would be good to see a picture of the edge, but I'm thinking a 'magic coin,' produced by grinding down and then joining two separate cents. Either way, it is definitely not a mint error, as it would not be possible for this to have come out of the mint, as those dies would not have been in the same place at the same time.

Although that is slightly out of focus, I think that I can discern the faint join line - not wholly at centre. As mentioned before, Two Cents that have been ground then joined, probably for use in magic.

 It's a Magician's coin. The seam on the edge is worn, but discernible. There's a chance that it weighs more than a normal copper cent, as well.

Yeah, I weighed it, and it is 3.25 grams. Oh well, still a neat find. Probably a magician from the 20s or 30s.

Heads or heads! It looks like this Magician's coin was done many years ago. I have a couple of these, but they're Lincoln Memorial Cents.
