    Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to this forum and have been lurking for some time now. I'm a brand new coin collector and still in the learning process. I came across what seems to be an error dime missing the whole front of the coin. The weight of the coin is 0.87 grams. Just curious what you guys think and what a possible value could be if it looks to be authentic? Thank you for your time!

    Sorry, but it's not an error. Someone was just having fun with a metal lathe and removed the obverse. You can tell by the spiral marks. That also explains the low weight

    You nailed it (the above post)

    It was probably done as a prelude
    to it being turned into a two-headed
    magician's coin.
