I Think that could be an error of some type (Missing Planchet) Or something. ??? You may want to look into that could be worth some money.

Keep @ it and HH!!

I'm thinking it's part of a magic trick or maybe a squirting dime.
If you look at the edge, it looks like the back was added.
Can you take a picture of the side?

Good Luck and HH

I really think that is an error coin you would see more scratches if it was rubbed off right? It is just the copper half its missing the other half. I know both dies are stamped on at once when minted but sometimes I think one die is lost. I could be wrong I usually am but, I could be right too. We need expert help!!

Keep @ it and HH!!

I posted a Rosevelt half dime in the past and people did not believe it was real! This shows the red book is not complete by any means.

Unfortunately what you have is not a mint error. It is the result of creating a "two headed dime" (novelty), and the two pieces come apart. For a double headed coin, a company or individual will grind off the reverse, then drill (hollow) out another coin from the reverse. The first coin is then placed insided of the second, with the head facing out, creating a two headed coin effect. The opposite is done with a two tailed coin. In my half dollar roll searches, I was surprised to actually find the hollowed out piece of the novelty coin, as the grinded off piece had come out. Your piece is the one that was grinded off then placed inside the hollowed out piece, but as with the half I found, they came apart. In my roll searches I have found a complete "two headed" half, a complete "two headed" nickel and the hollowed out piece of the two headed half.
