Tell me more...is this a misprint?

Tell me more about this coin! Is it worth anything? There is a 1931 Lady Liberty dime on one side and a wheat penny on the other side.

Pmd post mint damage. Someone filed the cent down and used a lathe to hollow the dime out and fitted the cent in the hollow dime. Google search magicians coin and it will explain how its done.

 

Also the term would be mis struck because coins are struck and paper money is printed.

 

11 Cents!

 

Playing with fire?

 

Ohhh.... I'll keep my mouth shut and instead just welcome the OP to the forum.

 

Thanks! That's what I figured but my mother begged me to find out. Either way it has a super cool story...my mom found it on their family's farm when she was a child while walking it with her father (who was an avid coin collector). We have notebooks full of his coins that we need to go through. I may be back later with some of those. Thanks again.

 

Thanks for the correction!

 

Okay funny guy

 

I can't wait to see some of your (his old) coin collection!


Thanks,
Jacob

 

Surely only 5.5 cents. Half a penny plus half a dime.

 

The 11 thing is a long and oddly-entertaining story, but if you'd like to know....

And please do feel to ask whatever you want. Even if the coin wasn't as hoped, it is indeed a very cool story; the family connection makes it priceless.
