Zilliz81 Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 5:24 pm I'm not sure if the term is correctly used, but a client of mine brought in an envelope avoid appeared useless coins from his father. As I look through them of different Origins and such, they all appear to have a significance with each.. As I understand, the stamping process is impossible to have this happen, could it be a real coin and intentionally done at the mint? Its weight is 5grams Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 5:29 pm This is no doubt a Magician's coin, with one side carefully milled out for the insertion of a slightly reduced-size example of the same series on the other side. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 5:30 pm It's a Magician's coin. Two nickels with the reverse sanded/ground off and then put together. I've seen a few around. Even in an auction. Report this Post to the Staff

Zilliz81 Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 5:34 pm Crazy that work put into it to sell for only 9 dollars, you would think the art alone would be worth more! Even looking at the rim, you can't tell where he reconnected the two to join Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 5:40 pm Pretty cool, and a keeper in my book. See alot of these, for sure. I have found only a 1/2 of one so far. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6517 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 10:33 pm Pretty neat find. You're gonna win a lot of coin flips, assuming you get to pick the side! =P Report this Post to the Staff
Zilliz81 Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 11:10 pm I had the same thought about the weight. Is that an accurate dynamic with magician coins? I'll look it up now Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 11:29 pm The seam is much less visible in these pictures than on your typical Magician's coin, but I believe it's the second picture that shows the seam. It's especially noticeable at the rim next to the date and clockwise from the last T in "TRUST". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/04/2024 05:40 am Nice one. I have a similar coin, but with two reverses. The seam is on the edge as if two coins were sliced in half and then rejoined. http://goccf.com/t/296314&SearchTer...1-ccfopt.jpg In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
