    not really a weld, but a silver solder.

    The elongated bubble that runs through the "18" is a clue that the coin was very hot at one point (when soldered, I presume).

    I suspect that this coin was once part of a "chain" of similar coins which made up a bracelet or something.

    I'm certain each piece was struck once.

    This could be why I see 1875 on the piece on the left ? (though, I know Jack about foreign material...it just looks like what D. Carr's description would be)
    I'll come up with something.

    Broadstruck---Did you let the seller know that this coin in not an error?

    Yes right after I stopped laughing.
