<p>[QUOTE="SorterX, post: 1262124, member: 30717"]The weight, and sound, will be off due to <a href="http://www.coingalaxy.com/coininfo/two-heads.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coingalaxy.com/coininfo/two-heads.html" rel="nofollow">the process used to make</a> the magician's coins. The high quality ones are made from real coins; if both sides say "1964" then I'm going with it being made from 90% silver (and some adhesive). The funny part is that, as a magician's coin, you could sell it for considerably more than melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>ADDENDUM: I recently went through $70 (140 coins) of 1964's, almost all of which would be AU50 or above, i.e. no significant wear to cause weight reduction; I weighed (grams) every single one. The weights ranged from 12.2 grams to 12.8 grams. That would be a 10 grain difference from the lightest to the heaviest. I suspect the 25 grain (1.62 grams) difference you found would be caused by the removal of metal to make the two '64s into a magician's coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
