I worked a bank in the 70's and came across a coin which is one side a 1963 dime and the other side a penny. I am wondering if it has any substantial value to it. I have never seen a coin like it and it took great care to splice it so perfectly. I figure they may be one other coin like it which has the other halves. Is it worth anything? Pennydime
More than likely a magician's coin. Need a pic to determine what it is. And..... Welcome to Coin Talk!
Well, this guy wants $24.97 for his (dime is a '64): http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Roosevelt-Dime-Wheat-Penny-Magic-Coin-Novelty-Showpiece-/260972817177?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3cc3312b19
He does describe it as a magic coin and novelty, not as a possible error coin. So if he gets his price, it will be a honest sale.
This one sold $ 57,500 Mule 1995 Cent/Dime MS 64 http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1136&lotNo=2384
The one on HA was on a dime planchet, the one on eBay has the copper planchet on one side and the silver dime on the other; not to mention the splice/seam on the edge the OP told us about.
