[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2863293, member: 78298"]When I was a kid, I found one of these next to the freight tracks. Someone put the 2 coins together on the rail, and after the train came by, they were smashed together. Most likely this is a magician's coin, there are other possibilities but it's not an error since you would have to have 2 planchets to mint this coin. And 2 separate dies. A 1937 Merc obverse die and silver planchet and a reverse wheat die and copper planchet.[/QUOTE]
