1967 one penny/ half dollar
Can someone please tell me what I have gotten my hands on. I have never seen anything like this. It has "one Penny" on one side and "half dollar" on the other side. Thanks for your help.

Re: 1967 one penny/ half dollar
Welcome to the forum. Look at the edge closely, you might be able to see a "crease", this is the work of a person with a lot of time on their hands. It's interesting but didn't happen at the mint, so it's a novelty coin.
Re: 1967 one penny/ half dollar
Thank you so very much. I was amazed when I got home and noticed what I had.

You're welcome. It's still an interesting creation, you could have some fun with this one.
Re: 1967 one penny/ half dollar
I am sure. I got it at the store as change. Guess someone either did not realize or did not know what to do with it. I think I will put it up and hang on to it for a while.

Re: 1967 one penny/ half dollar
It is a neat find. I found a two headed nickel a while back. :l I believe these are made on a lathe. They take one coin and hollow it out that take the second and mill it down so that it fits perfectly inside of the other. I once heard that machinist do this as sort of a right of passage to see how good they are. They are sometimes made as souvenirs and sold at gift shops as "Magician" coins.
