no. Chances are it is a magicians coin, that or a novelty coin. no added value other than the interest it gave you in numismatics.

Value?

To a collector, a buck, tops.

on eBay? Priceless.

Are both sides copper? I ask because there has been at least one genuine two tailed mule cent/dime reported. If both sides are copper then we will need a weight and GOOD pictures.
