<p>[QUOTE=&quot;darrenbrull, post: 1637591, member: 44437&quot;]Hey guys, here is the backstory and pictures to follow:</p><p><br /></p><p>So my grandfather passed down all these coins years and years ago. My dad is trying to downsize and is tired of all his crap, so I got enlisted to help. Lots of Mercury Head, Indian Head nickels, beautiful silver dollars (one as old as 1882!), and lots of old foreign money, such as some chinese currency predating communism. Also, some really old stamps and the like.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, found this really odd coin that I think, hopefully, is a double denomination. It is a 1920 Philly Wheat Cent on the head with a Liberty Head nickel reverse. Oddly enough, the penny part is copper and the nickel part is silver or whatever the material might actually be. Take a look:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]235104.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]235105.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry the penny head is a bit blurry. Taking up–close images with an iPhone is hit or miss. As you can see, the outer rim of the nickel is not present so as to meet the proper dimensions of the penny head. Also, notice the off–center angle of the nickel tail.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what do you experts think?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, btw, check out this 1891 silver dollar. I think it is particularly beautiful:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]235103.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
