<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 627226, member: 15199&quot;]I am almost sure that it was someone making a coin similar to a magician&#039;s double headed or double tailed coins. The key is to use a lathe or mill to machine out the one side of the coin exactly on the inside edge of the rim leaving the &quot;cup&quot; you mention. Then another coin is machined to remove the same area, leaving just the obverse from the inside edge of the rim. If you are good, the &quot;cut&quot; will be nearly invisible in the shadow of the rim when you put them together. And as said above you could change one side to produce a &quot;mule&quot; of sorts. Look for 1958 cents with memorial backs and 1959 cents with wheat backs.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
