<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 10475910, member: 78298&quot;]Sorry I went off on a tangent. The reason you can&#039;t have 2 reverse dies, is it won&#039;t work in the machinery. You have to have a matched set. Front and back. Even if such an error occurred, the speed that the machines run, would&nbsp; have produced thousands of these coins before the error was discovered and production halted. The mint has to document everything, because they are producing &quot;money&quot; and using precious metals. Everything is written down. This error would have been documented, how many were produced, how many were melted down, how many were released accidentally into circulation. None of this documentation exists, if it did this would be a prominent feature in every coin book for the last 80 years.</p><p>You did a few things right. You came in here, you produced a photo you asked a question. Now yes there are times when experts don&#039;t agree about a certain error, because there are many factors, variables, criteria in the production of coins and some times there can be a gray area of misunderstanding.</p><p>In this case, the experts have told you what you have is a magician&#039;s coin. There are dozens of threads here on the same topic you can read about, or go to Google or Wiki and find an article explaining what you have. The people here are honest and straight forward and are not going to lie about what you have. &quot;Heh heh heh. Let&#039;s have some fun with the new guy.&quot; That&#039;s not how it works around here. Coin collectors are very serious people. When you get a coin like this that you are not sure what you have, instead of believing the impossible rarity worth millions that you have, you have to reverse engineer and think how was such a coin produced.</p><p>Read about the minting process, etc. Everyone always wants to think they have a 1 in a billion coin. And rarities do pop up once in a while. But you were told by experts what your coin is and the only mistake you made, you refused to listen to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I like first posted, even if it isn&#039;t a magician&#039;s coin, there are several ways to smash the 2 coins together and make it appear like 1 coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Always weigh any coin you have a question about on an accurate digital scale. Usually that can give you the answer you need right away. Sometimes not but having more information is better than having less information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
