I hope someone has a copy of the show from "the secrets of the US mint" and he sees how this coin was actually made before they send him some money. I am unfamiliar with U.S. currency, so forgive my stupid questions. Is this coins a mule or not? If not, how are these coins made? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/30/2006 12:42 pm Snooba, it is a trick coin that can be purchased at novelty shops for about $10. The obverse of a Sacky is CNC machined off, the reeding and reverse of a quarter is machined, and then the two pieces are popped together with an almost seemless fit thanks to computer controlled machining. Only 10 authentic Sacky/quarter mules are known to exist and they are all worth mid to high five figures. http://www.fredweinberg.com/mules.html Generally, when sold as a trick coin, they are made into two-headed coins with no plating on the Washington head. The tricksters will make obv/rev coins and plate them to simulate a real mule. Edited by biokemist6 10/30/2006 12:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
