[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 8410629, member: 84179"]It is a magicians coin. You can easily see the seam around the inner rim in your second picture where the coin was machined down then joined. Google magicians coin and you can buy a matching set of heads for you tails It is absolutely NOT an error. Edit too add: [USER=73266]@Hommer[/USER] is correct. The obverse and reverse dies have different hardware so they can't be installed in the wrong position. At Philly in the early 2000s, the mint busted a ring making errors and smuggling them out through the oil pan of a fork truck. San Fran also had the same problem in the early-mid 70s with unbelievable errors made by employees during off hours. Your coin has a very visible seam, so its obvious your coin couldn't be one of the Philly shenanigans. If you really think you have something, maybe your grandmother was working with the crooks :troll:? The coin you referenced never entered circulation so the only way somebody would have it is either through the smugglers or buy it from an auction. Remember, there is an incredible amount of history in numismatics. Sometimes the story we want to believe gets blown up by facts and logic[/QUOTE]
