I got a nice nickel like that. The original coin has a complete rim and the reverse is hollowed out to just inside the inner edge.
Another nickels reverse was cut down to the proper height and the rim was cut away.
I assume they were done by a machinist and it was done quite well.
Only under a good magnifier can you see where they fit together as there is a thin gap.
I assume they are epoxied together. I think I paid about 5 or 7 bucks for it. Both sides are a 1982 P with BU details.I bet it weighs 5 grams just like any other nickel too.

It's got a 90 degree die rotation too!
Nice catch!

Of course, there's always PCGS if you want to be sure.

How about answering my question?

Where's the names and phone numbers of the dealers that say it's authentic?

Post them up please so we can verify with someone that "knows", the fact that you ignored me says a lot.

Also would be nice to know about the dealers so I can expand my 'dealers to avoid at all costs' list.

I wanna work at that Bank!

No but seriously the banks don't have direct dealings with the Treasury. Almost everything is either done thru private companies in conjunction with the Federal Reserve

We have presented facts while you have given us nothing but a mirrored picture. This is a great place for education and teaching. The reason that this topic has become a Farce is because you come here trying to sell something that is fake. We are a family and we are only calling you out to protect our members and you won't listen to reason.

I don't care really.

Stick around to learn and grow in the world of Numismatics. Just don't try to pass off stuff that you don't know anything about.

Didn't we have another thread earlier in the year on a 1972 silver quarter and most people jumped down the poster's throat that it wasn't authentic, etc? And the coin was viewed by either Forum Mom or Dad and found to very likely be authentic and now is being graded by NGC I believe? I am skeptical too, but let's wait and see if this coin can be authenticated. If we don't hear back from him, then, well, we know we were right to be skeptical.

I think skepticism is good, but smart aleck remarks should be kept to a minimum. What if he is right and really has something of interest?
