Fdock9 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 5:43 pm I found this today in a penny roll and I don't know if this is just weird PMD or an error. This is what I have. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 6:16 pm agreed - need the weight for this one first. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 6:31 pm Doesn't look like a mint error to me and the low weight confirms it: half of a Magician's coin like @nss said.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 6:32 pm That blows my capped die out of the water. Looks like zinc around the border, but I can't explain the copper inside. If it's a Magician's coin, why isn't it zinc color all the way through? Edited by Cujohn 02/15/2023 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25215 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 7:04 pm Exactly, Cujohn. The copper on the inside is very curious. Possibly a thin wafer pounded in to give it stability.

Fdock9 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 7:28 pm If it helps I put a piece of paper in the concave side, that way you can get an idea of how thin it is. But I'm assuming that the others are probably right about some sort of Magician's coin. Report this Post to the Staff
