My Mood:
Yours is the style of magician's coin where one coin is milled to remove the denticles and everything inside of them down to a depth of approximately half the coin's thickness. Another coin is then milled down to a matching thickness, and the rim is removed. Done carefully, one will tightly fit inside the other, held by just a dab of glue.

If you compare the "ring" of a coin dropped an inch or so onto a wood desk you will hear a distinct difference.

The seam on that type is much less noticeable than the seam created when two coins are milled down in thickness and pasted together without altering the rims.
