I agree with Smasher, but how could it be?

I have a Franklin halve that i got in a roll that had two heads on it. My
local coin dealer laughed and said it was a joke . Somebody with nothing to do
cut 2 coins in half and glued them togeather. A very good job to.
I think that might be what you have. Jimbob

Essentially yes. Good close ups will reveal the truth. Some of these coins have been made by machinists with tolerances so tight that it is very hard to find the seam. Cool find though.

I'll still say error coin.
