Expert: Dan Moore - 5/26/2009


Question
I have a Quarter with Tales on both sides. I have researched this the best I could and can not seem to find anything on it. I don't know if it's worth anything, and I would like to know how do I find out if it is worth anything ?

Answer
Brynn,

This is a common privately made novelty item known as a magician's coin, made by altering two normal coins and gluing the pieces back together.

There are dozens of these on eBay at any time.  And you can buy in almost any magic shop.

Value at a couple dollars.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
