[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1637623, member: 26302"]I am sure some value, but coin collectors really wouldn't know what it was. They were made by a metal lathe hollowing out the cent but leaving the edge, then cutting the nickel down in depth and around the edges on the lathe. Then they put the nickel into the hollowed out cent. Tight tolerances, but very doable with machine lathes. Once you get it down, its very easy to crank out 100 very quickly. It is interesting why they used the cent as the hollowed out coin rather than the nickel, but our answer will be the same either way.[/QUOTE]
