<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 7754437, member: 2098"]What you have is a magician's coin wherein two separate coins were milled and assembled to have a head on each side. It's worth a closer look in the sense there could be something interesting inside of the penny if both sides were hollowed out (perhaps a smaller coin or some such). Look for a seam and see if you can wedge the two sides apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to it being done by a dodgy Victorian, it is possible it was done during the Victorian era but it could have just as easily been done before or after this time period. We'll be unlikely to ever know when unless something interesting turns up inside that offers an indication of when it may have been done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
