<p>[QUOTE="I_Love_Silver, post: 1277968, member: 30181"]It probably is a magician's coin. The proper weights are as follows: 1965-1970 - Weight 11.50 grams 1971 - to date Weight 11.34 grams.</p><p>People mill out the whole face or reverse of one coin and mill off the reeded edge and rim of another coin and fit them almost perfectly together. If you look around the inner rim on either side you will most likely fine the marriage point. I just watched the "Modern Marvels" US Mint documentary just today and seen that they strike both the obverse and reverse simultaneously with a "hammer die" (moving Top) and "Anvil die" (stationary bottom) so it's highly improbable for a "natural error" like that to appear with out it being noticed immediately these days anyway. It would be neat to see a picture of it. Hope this helps some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
