[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 35869, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum chairie. You are absolutely right - [i][b]its put together perfectly[/b][/i][b][/b]. The thickness, the multiple metals, and the partial reeding are each a conclusive tipoff that you have a "magician's coin", made by machining two genuine coins and putting them together with a strong adhesive. A true "mule" results when a genuine planchet for one coin somehow gets struck with unmatched dies. Such a coin could not have been in the proper collars for both sides, so an "11¢" piece would either be reeded or plain, not half-and-half. Someone went to a lot of work to make that piece. :mad:[/QUOTE]
