SunnyNinaD Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 10:33 pm I cannot find with a search anyone every questioning a nickel from 1976 nickel with no reverse. Found one today. Think it's worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

SunnyNinaD Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 10:41 pm Watched video but what makes it so you can tell it's an actual Magicians coin and not a blank? Is that because the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6455 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 10:49 pm The high rim on the back. Also the concentric lathe lines where the blade cut away the metal. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 7:56 pm Sunny, there is no way that a coin can only have one side. There has to be 2 dies to come together to make the coin. There might be something that gets in between the planchet and the die. But there will be something that bleeds through on the coin from that die. Report this Post to the Staff
