    Probably made of German silver. :D

    I'm not even sure what is being sold. Is it a two headed coin with one side scratched up? Very strange. I'll pass in any event.

    If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I'd buy all the coins and all the dies from that place and melt them.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Weird stuff for sure. Not my kind of thing but I feel bad for those 1893 Morgans...

    This is a replica of a signature item associated with the Batman villain Two-Face. Without going into too much backstory, he is an anarchist with a split personality, who believes in leaving most of his major decisions up to chance, deciding what to do by a flip of a coin. In recent media, most prominently 'The Dark Knight' (2008), this coin takes the form of a Peace Dollar w/ two obverses, one of which has been damaged, like you see here. It's not intended to fool numismatists.

    Yeah this is part of the shoppify dropshipping craze. Theyre dropshipping counterfeit items. Its a way for them to get around being banned from ebay or other marketplaces. If this is a shopify site and not wordpress, you can file a complaint to shopify and they will take down the site. Sad to see the lengths people will go for aquick buck, if they put their ingenuinity to a legitimate business, their limits would be endless.

    Thanks. This coin now makes sense as a movie prop. I'm still not going to buy it though but I could see someone who is a Batman movie fan buying it.

    The 1893 Silver Type Coin on their site is certainly "interesting". Nothing says late 19th century like a buxom beach babe in a bikini! B)

    That looks like a double obverse error coin!

    Agree. I remember the coin/movie. Tommy Lee Jones was good as 2 face.
