this one took some time to make----normal silver with a VERY thin slice of a '63 fused to the reverse at about 235 degree rotation. can't tell if they used an adhesive or heat to fuse the slice. details of the '50 reverse are visible at the edges of the '63 ( "0" of one and "A" of states). holes in the '63 indicate the slice was partially melted to create the bond. reeding is normal and weighs 6.3 grams. sad the orientation was poorly aligned. this gem should sell nicely as a novelty trick coin ___________AND it's still silver :icon_thumright::laughing7: IMG_4203.JPG IMG_4204.JPG IMG_4205.JPG IMG_4206.JPG

The legendary gambler Titanic Thompson would offer to flip a coin for a dinner or drinks tab.

If the other party called his double-sided coin correctly while it was in the air he'd catch it, slip his hand into his pocket, and say "The heck with that - let's go dutch."

Good luck to all,

The Old Bookaroo
