I bid on them but this sale ended at $153, I cut out at around $30! Anyone have one of these, pretty cool and very old school! https://www.ebay.com/itm/358639744910
I got the cent /dime combo in photos. I also got a double heads and a double tails cent, got a double heads indian nickel somewhere.
Sal, you've never seen these before.? They are home made altered coins. This did this decades ago. They are altered and considered garbage IMHO Not even China would waste their time making these!
When I was a kid I found a merc dime/ wheatie that was mashed together. But it was right by the freight tracks so someone must have put the two coins on the rail. This was the late 60's it was not a magician's coin. These coins in the OP should not be selling for these outrageous prices. EBay has no integrity and people should stop patronizing them.
That's not the process for joining 2 halves of different coins together. You found it near the tracks but that doesn't mean it was made by a train running over it. Did it look like the coins in question?
Someone is making them, as they are quite plentiful on Amazon. Double heads and tails. A popular magician's prop possibly. I think all of mine were free as I found them in batches of cull coins.
They appeared to be completely mashed into 1 coin. The only technology available over there for glue sniffers to mash 2 coins together like that would be a train to run over them.
I was a little kid and I gave it to my friend's brother who collected coins, JUST TO LOOK AT IT, and he said thanks, and kept it.
