[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1733808, member: 15929"]It is quite simple to machine these coins down and create these "oddities". Sometimes they are called magicians coins and usually, if you look very closely, you can see a thin line near the rim where the two halves were join together. Wise to stay away? As long as they were genuine US coins, they still have their silver content. A bit impaired but silver none the less. I have a two headed and a two tailed 1964 Kennedy Half dollars I purchased simply because I had the money. I bought them from a well respected coin dealer with the full knowledge that they were PMD coins. I expect that if the coins you saw were genuine coins with PMD that they would sell for at least what a genuine silver dollar sold for if not a smidge more.[/QUOTE]
