Purchased some coins from an estate sale and it has a head dated 1941 on one obverse and 1943 head on the reverse. Is this a known issue from the mint? Pictures attached.   |

@rke, I suspect that you have some sort of Magicians coin there, although I'm not seeing a seam. Can you please post a pic of the edge of this piece, plus the weight? Thx. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Can you also show us a straight-on shot of the edge?

After looking closer I believe you are correct. I seem to see a seam. Weight 4.98 gran   |

Fun find!  Keep it for coin tosses. Remember to call heads.  |

First 1/2 silver 1/2 nickel I've ever seen. usually, they machine out one side and turn down one to fit into it. First one I've seen that cuts two in half and glues together.

A novelty piece for sure, but this a an altered coin after it left the mint. Post mint damage. A cool conversation piece, but no premium I'm afraid.  |

Ruined a part silver melt coin. Two headed coin. (Mostly a loser, as most coin flip called are heads) A two tailed coin would be a better investment.
