Old example but at least for this one I don't find the Mercury dime side very convincing with that big copper rim still visible. 1944-S/1943 Lincoln cent/Mercury dime Magician's coin Report this Post to the Staff

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 08:13 am I suspect that the "magic" was to turn a penny into a dime - in which case the observer would never see the dime side until the penny "shell" was removed. Cool coin. Report this Post to the Staff
