Unlike the first coin, it isn't a bonded two-headed coin. It is a cent that has been hollowed out to allow insertion of a second piece, which is missing. Presumably that piece would have been a reduced size cent or a dime. This also looks like an older Magician's coin. Enjoy! Here is the intact 1960-D obverse: Here is a straight-on shot of the hollowed out reverse: Here is an angled shot of the hollowed out reverse: Report this Post to the Staff
