Cool coin to keep handy...heads I win, tails you lose.

Yes, you can actually see the seam where they were put together!

I found one once as well. I believe Its a magicians coin. Unless someone could shed more light on this?

 

[enamel7]

It's a magician coin. That isn't possible in the minting process.

 

[Barasingha]

If it is a magicians coin, should it be able to come apart? It seems like it is stuck together pretty well.

Somebody probably made it as a gag gift. It's probably super glued together so you would not be able to pull it apart. No way it's an error. One side is a 1967 and the other is 1989. No way that could happen at the mint. Somebody had some extra time on their hand and made this. Probably some con artists who street hustled a mean game of heads or tails

found 3 in rolls. gave 1 to a teller. just listed 1 on ebay for $2. sold a 40% 2 head half for $20 on ebay. there is a buyer for everything, excluding Hillary's lies:--))

good find!
Looks like Jeff has a Mohawk hair cut, there on the 1989 "obverse"...!

Guess I should have explained further. It's a"novelty" coin. Not a magician's coin. It's not supposed to come apart.

 

[FormerTeller]

Basically a Magicians coin that's been superglued together. The quarters, dimes, and nickels I gave like those don't come apart, while the halves usually do. Haven't found a cent or dollar coin like that yet.

It would have been more believe able if both dates & mint mark were the same on both sides, and if the cut line didn't show so much, it might pass as a good error

 

[boristhespider88]

Cool find, I've got one that is tails on both sides.
