Another Oxfam Exeter donation. This coin has the obverse on both sides. Does this make it more valuable.
Thanks in advance :-)

What does the edge look like? It wouldn't be the first coin that was made of two halves.

It's a doctored coin. Mill out one side and cut down another coin and cement it into place. You can see the gap on one side.

Sell it as such.

Don't know. See what they sell for on ebay. Magic coin, magician coin, etc.
