We both believe this coin to be fake, possibly half of a magicians coin. Any input would be appreciated. I know the first question is weight, however my scale is out of batteries and I can't find them anywhere. It is considerably lighter than a normal cent. The revers is normal with only a slight double rim. Is it called a railroad rim? Can't remember.</p><p>The obverse is totally gone, but still has a rim. The revers can be seen through the obverse. My coin shop guy said he has magician coins and they all are smooth on the side that is hollowed. This has some gouges and what looks like lamination peels on the obverse. So, can a coin be machined out and still show features from the other side? </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to your responses,</p><p><br /></p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
