theres always two sides to a coin

Someone made that comment on a show I was just watching, so I figured someone here can post a pic of a coin that defies that statement.

POST THEM ONESIDED COINS!

    I'm no good at posting photos brother, but there are actually three sides to a coin. image

    Uniface strike, with clip. (A second blank was resting on top of this when struck).

    Both dies struck the same "side" of the coin here, as this is an edge strike. And so, this is a different type of a single-sided coin.

    I think they're great. I especially like the one with the reverse worn away.

    True uniface US coins are extremely rare except for errors.

    Numismatic News printed a picture of a 1974 clad quarter with the reverse
    ground off several years back. If memory serves it was found in Iola, WI.

    I think there's a cu/ ni indian cent and one other but its nature escapes me.

    These are much more common in world coins, tokens, and medals where they
    are produced to check dies, use as salesmen samples, or as curiosities or pre-
    sentation pieces.

    Die caps can be so thin that there's hardly room for another side. image

    True, which means there really is at least two sides to a coin. image
