I found this in a roll I got a few months ago and just got around to actually looking them over. Just slid them out of the roll and looked down the edge when I got them just to look for silver, didn't look at the obv/rev at the time. When the insert is flipped around to look like a normal half the seam is barely noticeable.

Yep, That is one type of Magician's coin. Some have an older, 20 centavos coin of Mexico in place of the British Penny.

Almost anytime someone reports finding a rotated die on a Kennedy, it is usually one of these put back together without any attention paid to the orientation of the obverse to the reverse.

Fun piece!

Thanks,
Bill
Rest in Peace
