[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 298644, member: 4703"]Welcome to Coin Talk Randal. It's a magician's coin, not a gag or a government issue. Check the edge and if there is a faint line all the way around, the coin it was made by milling two real ones to one-half thickness, and gluing them together. More likely, if you examine each side under 10X magnification you will find a faint line just inside the rim on one side. That's the more common method of making these items - milling out a cavity in one and milling off the edge and part of the thickness on the other, and then fitting one inside the other. They generally go for <$5 in a magic shop.[/QUOTE]
