Rainey day today, so along with other things to do I bagged up my dry sand beach clad and headed to my credit union where the coin counter is free to members,... three month total = $154.62
Beach clad for me is most always clean and shinny, so the occasional rejects, which are few, are usually damaged or foreign coins. Only had two, a 50 cent Paise from India and a trick nick.
The Paise is made of nickel, and I most likely thought it was one when I found it and put it in my pouch. Even after getting home and totaling my take I didn't notice it and must have then thought it was a quarter and counted it as one, It is the exact size.
The nickel I threw back into the machine and it was rejected again. A closer look with glasses got the "ah ha moment". It is a real nickel, but was rejected because of weight, 5.5g compared to 5.0g of a normal nickel.
I'm going to have some fun with it, maybe a free lunch or two. GL ALL

I've been working on the scenario ...since the flipper doesn't call it I'll have to get the coin in their hand without arousing suspicion.

That's cool, A 2 headed nickel and a nice clad total too.

I've got a few 2 sided half dollars from when I use to coin roll hunt.

Wow, Wonder if that is a real mint error? Could be worth more than a nickel!!!

Nope Mark, It's a novelty "Magician's Coin"..Some are made by cutting two nickels in half and then bonding the 2 heads or tails together. This one took a nickel and using a lathe, hollowed out the tale side of one and then fitted another nickel into it....that's why it has the added weight, its a whole nickel inserted into the half shell of another. You can see the rim of the cut out one in the pic.
