    I'd imagine the obverse will most likely be completely destroyed from the process.

    For gifts like that, it's only the thought/who they are from, that counts.

    I would tell her thanks. But It would teach her a lesson. I would keep it because I like altered coins such as the one in question..

    By the way.. The item listing should of ended a few hours ago but it disappeared.
    It was either taken off by the seller or removed by eBay.

    Ever since she was young I told her and her mom that's all I want! I always tell her "How did you know?" She laughs!

    That works.
    Just a month ago I told them I didn't want any more presents. None.
    Especially gift cards.

    I can't tell you how many times I bid for these types of coins high enough to win. I then photograph them for my research, then I return the coin for being sold as an altered coin. I always get refunded by EBay. This is often a good enough lesson for sellers when they have to fork over the money they already spent, and many of them knowingly sell them to rip people off. (If you say you don't accept returns, you know you're dishonest.)

    It's not unheard of for a smaller planchet to be struck into a larger, but their listing seems to have mismatched dies as well lol.

    Here's one I've always found fascinating. It's to bad they don't have the struck dime planchet to go with it but pretty amazing all the same.

    Will you give me $2.00 for the like I just gave you?
    Does that extend to personal taste?
