Question
I found a Kennedy that has the reverse printed on both sides. It is not silver, so I assume it it issued after 1971. I appears to me to be real. Have you heard of such? Thank you
Hi,
Sure, these are magician's coins. This way you always win the "flip" of the coin.
They are sold in novelty shops for about $7
If you look closely at the coin, you should see a seam just inside the rim where a coin was hollowed out and another was made a touch smaller to drop in.
Have fun with it.
Regards
