[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 853109, member: 112"]I doubt it. You see, it is impossible to even have a coin that is struck on 1 side only. There are errors known as capped die errors where only 1 side has a full design. But the other side will always have at least a partial design on it. Then you have coins that are intentionally altered and have the design on one side ground off to make magician's coins, but these coins only weigh a fraction of what the real coin weighs. Then you have fakes that are cast 1 side at a time for a later joing of the 2 sides together, but even these are very uncommon. If you would post pictures of one of these single sided coins - both sides, we can probably tell you what you have.[/QUOTE]
