Most unusual coin

This is the most unusual coin I ever found since I started detecting. Somebody had too much time on their hands to come up with this one. When I located it, my machine indicated that it was a dime. It was sort of. One side of it has the tails of a dime and the other side has the tails of a penny. I guess my biggest questions would be, how did they get the penny turned down to the size of a dime and, what kind of glue did they use? Ken

    I'd say it's a magicians coin. IMO. Magicians coins come in all sorts of configurations. Peace Roy

    Yep... magicians coin ... either done professionally (sold in trick stores) or at home for 'heads or tails' flipping contests....there should be a seam on the edge....if mated with glue, acetone will separate them...might take a while though. Cheers, RickO
