Re: Hello
This is a trick coin and not a mint error; no where during the minting process can something like this happen. I have a three cent nickel from 1965 that fits inside another coin and has the same mill lines.
It is a neat coin though.

Re: Hello
What kind of 'trick' would this coin b good for? Besides when I got it on ship from the DK's it was most likely in a roll of quarters direct from mint-base-ship (I'm fairly sure the navy doesn't use BofA or Wells Fargo) If memory serves, the ships in my ARG would fill da 6 mth payroll vault b4 WestPac with most on da LHA Tarawa. Kinda hard 2 believe it's a trick coin.

Re: Hello
What it looks like is some kind of round punch used on the eagle side breaking the face side out except there's no evidence of damage on the eagle. tell me, r US coins solid thru? Cuz if u look edge on at da broken face, it looks kinda like this.

Re: Hello
mmmmmmmm, this is intriguing, i have not seen this before,.......
so, if you 'measure' the "front side piece", the part that 'fell out' of the reverse shell,..... what do you get as the "diameter" ?
(it looks machined down to me,.....any 'reeding' on that piece too ?)
:eureka:
this reminds me of the 'magic trick' penny to dime, & so on......
but i do not hugeeyes this as a 'MINT ERROR' here,.......
D, wat u tink ?
:confused:
pencil through coin trick ??

Re: Hello
OIC. Yeah, it's possible. The hole might fit a cig but then how did it get on my ship?! This coin has a story to it but chances r I'll never know. It's still a cool coin but you have dashed my hopes of finding that 1 in a million coin! lol.

need some help/advice
I live in Southern Cali and last summer I kicked up a coin on the beach. It is encrusted with sand but you can still read the coin strangely enough. It is a 1712 Spanish Real ( I think they're called piece of eight?). Anyway, I'm kinda stuck on what to do with it. Like should I have it cleaned? (professionally of course) Where would I get that done safely or is it better to leave it in it's present condition? I thought about taking it to a coin shop but I figure they'll just try to take me for a ride. I'm ignorant not stupid!
So I've been on this site before and have gotten good advice so far. Wadduya think :-) ?
BTW, I collect foreign money (I was Navy, It's an occupational hazard!) and I have a few coins that are fairly old but most of what I see is old American coins. Where might I find out how much if anything these coins are worth?
Thanks to all.

Re: Hello
Do you have any Pics ? In my opinion , I would have it " conserved" only if it is worth the Money . I wouldn't mess round with it my self . I also would go back to that spot with a Metal Detector . Let us know your decision. Ok?
