Help! Crazy coin! Unsure

Hello to all! I am new to the site and I already need your help. I know there are coins out there with multiple denominations, but is there such a coin where several metals of coins are mixed and is punched with all four denominations from penny through quarter, and its a nickel planchet??? I know this is weird but I am going to be purchasing this coin soon, and I wanted some advice. PLEASE HELP!

Welcome to CT.

Will need to see images of the coin you are speaking of, you can find help by helping us with posting pics or providing a link to the coin in question:

How To Post (upload) Photos

 

Sounds like an exonumia piece but without pics no one could tell for sure.

 

Sounds like someone took a nickel and did a squeeze job on it with other coins. Are the images of the other coins indented into the coin or raised from the surface?

 

1st Welcome

we do like photos!!!

 

Without photos I can tell you this, if it has a Cent image on a Nickel planchet, regardless of what else is there, then it is not real. The nickel planchet is too large to fit into the machinery that mints cents (or dimes for that matter) and therefor having a cent on nickel planchet is not possible. Nickel on cent planchet on the other hand does exist.

Doesn't exist in U.S. Numismatics.

I do recall an Australian coin, where the 2nd coin was cut from the center of the first. The "Holey dollar and dump."

I believe they sold (maybe still do) replica sets struck in silver.

 

Here is the link. Having trouble uploading images.

That monstrosity is man made. See how the words and dates are indented into the coin and are mirror image from what they should be? Someone imprinted other coins into the face of that one.

 

I agree that coin on ebay is man made there 2-3 coin type stamp on it!

 

Jewelery

I can't think of any coin that is NOT "Man Made".

I CAN think of some Jewelery that is a combination.

I would think the price should be from that aspect, i.e., if you know someone that would like it Go For It.

Some folks like drag queens after they have been made~up enough.

As for myself, I'm sure this one is made up, but it does not turn me on.

Others think otherwise and set their own values.

Oh~ And welcome to CoinTalk! Lots of folks here like weird varities.

 

So obviously post-mint damage that one must wonder about the sanity/intelligence of those multiple bidders!

If you can't live without multiple denomination coins, get some 1964 Rhodesian minors:

 

I sent a question to the seller, told them it's a vice job. Let's see if the auction is modified.....

 

It is still list and up to $78.00.:headbang:
Real or junk I think someone will get punked:kewl:

 

I like that he answered a question saying, "if I told you the estimated value you might pass out."!!!?? Maybe if he told those who have bid it up to $78 that the estimated value is .05 cents(questionable at that) they would pass out!

 

I agree!!!!
Someone going to get the short end on this what ever it is???

 

Maybe he should call it a postmodern work of art, engrave his initials on it, and sell it for millions. Attach it to a blank canvas and I could definitely see this hanging in a gallery somewhere.

 

That one thing you could call it!
The other things I would say would be censored

 

Reported.

 

I reported it as well. Hate seeing new collectors get ripped off like that.
