CoinHunterUK New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 11/21/2022 2:45 pm Hello, I recently came across this Queen Elizabeth II half penny and saw that the head was on both sides. I wondered if this was unusual - any thoughts would be much appreciated. Both sides of the coin are pictured. Thanks. William (from the UK) Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 07:23 am Yes that is a seam for sure-two cents were ground down on their reverses and then braised or soldered together to make a single "coin" that will always show heads when flipped. Definitely worth saving in a 2x2.

CoinHunterUK New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 1:42 pm Thank you, I'll go with it being a Magicians coin. Might sound like a dumb question but do you reckon its worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 5:58 pm No numismatic value since this technically is damage, but you can buy them for a few dollars/pounds online. You could try for the same on ebay or whatever local marketplace you favor.
