Question
I have a dime tail on one side and a penny tail on the other side. Real metal and the strangest thing i've ever seen. Have you ever heard of it and how much is it worth? It is in almost perfect shape!!
These are known as Magician's Coins.
I have seen them on many occasions and even own a few myself. They are not as common as "same denomination" 2 headed or 2 tailed coins, but none the less they are fun to have.
They are not produced at the mint that way, that happens by a private company who markets them nationwide.
Nice find!
