mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 4:41 pm I found this one in the Grandma Grandpa stash I did a bit of research and I can figure that this one is pretty neat if not worth much. Ok...Maybe worth a bit of conversation Heads #1 Heads #2 Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 4:49 pm Well, the 1945 dime has about $1 worth of silver in it, but otherwise it is pretty much sentimental value only. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 5:00 pm This is a magic trick. I have one myself but mine shows tails. It goes in a red round box with green felt and the wheatie is copper plated steel so it sticks to a hidden magnet and hides under the top part, magically changing a penny, excuse me, cent into a dime. I would value your portion at about 8 to 10 dollars as it is, without the box and yes, including any silver dime.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 8:39 pm Actually I think it is a copper plated pressed shell and not a hollowed out actual Wheat cent. They look pretty good though don't they? Report this Post to the Staff
chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 8:48 pm I have somthing similar. But, it turns 4 stacked nickles into 4 stacked dimes. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 4:08 pm I didn't even try to pry them apart to see if it was a magic trick. Still, not a bad conversation piece Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 8:58 pm There must be something sticking to the other side of the dime and shell or the rim of the shell is pinched. This is two pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
