This ebay listing is for a mercury dime obverse/wheat cent reverse. It's possible that a cent planchet or a dime planchet could be stamped with the cent reverse and the dime obverse, but how could it be silver on one side and copper on the other? Shouldn't the listing say that it is a novelty item or is is so obvious that it doesn't need to be stated? (It doesn't say anywhere that it is an error coin; just that it is a "nice two-sided coin". (Is it possible for a coin NOT to have 2 sides?)
yes - it is possible .. but any coin like that in the auction that is REAl would sell for a whole lot more then $12 ... he doesnt show pics of the edge side.. that would tell alot!!! personlly, i would stay away from it unless $12 is ok for you to spend on a 'novelty'
I don't really like the kirk fellow, I've bought from him before. I wouldn't bid unless just for the novelty. If it were genuine it would be worth quite a bit more than $12 lol, but unless it is slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG it is probably fake.
Its funny how theres a rim on the obverse of the coin but on the reverse the edge is rounded where the rim should be like it had been tooled to look that way, which is, in my opinion, true.
I have one of those...... Think about it......... A silver Merc obverse mated to a copper wheat cent reverse..... kind of a no brainer......
For the unwashed, this is a magicians coin.... 2 coins, each milled (cut in half) and glued together... a no brainer....
I've had lots of these, they are a novelty. I've also seen several kennedy halves paired with british large cents. You can buy them in magic shops, etc. tradernick
