Interesting quarter

Received this in with some other change for payment of a garage sale item... I think it's worth more than a quarter!

Yeah, you can see where the reverse was hollowed out near the rim...they are cool, but not valuable from what I understand.

This cent isn't 2 sided but it's hollow:

definitely manufactured from two quarters.

Theres a guy in Southeast Michigan makes those for magic shops. Does it with an industrial lathe or cnc machine. Pretty neat and I think they sell for 5-10 bucks in novelty shops. You can see the line in your second pic where he hollowed out the one coin inside the rim. Its a tight fit and I assume he also uses some epoxy.

Yes, it's such a tight fit that if closed it's tough to get apart.

I found several in roll searching but they only had one side. One day I noticed this one had something stuck in the obverse. After getting it open I saw it was the paper thin revese stuck in backwards. If you look close at the blury reverse pic you can see the toning pattern from the lathe lines.
