Interesting penny - or maybe not

Not a mirror because the date don't match but wanted to run this by the experts here. Looks to be pressed together. Let me know any other info that's needed.

    Yes. I've been looking for that since I dropped it at Walmart last summer. James

    OP, you need to be clearer about what you are asking.

    You are showing the obverses of two different coins. Are you saying your coin has two inverses and no reverses?

    Also, the picture of the edge is out of focus.

    In any case, if it's one coin then it is either a novelty or a magicians coin. Better photos would allow more accurate assessments.

    It looks like they have glue on them.
    That would explain the bonding.

    I believe he is showing both sides but it is a two headed coin. This is definitely a manufactured novelty coin. Heads both sides for always winning a coin toss.

    I sometimes read a thread on this forum and am emotionally moved by the willingness of others to share their thoughts; often on extremely nuanced subjects and with information that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Kings of Men!

    But throw one Walmart penny amongst them and they turn into hooligans. OP, run you fool!!!

    What explains the two flying dog piles in front of Lincoln's face?

    Looks like someone cut down two different cents and bonded them together to make a double headed cent.
