double sided nickel?

My kids were going through their coins and found a nickel with two back sides, no face. Next to a regular one, it seems to be the same diameter and thickness. Any ideas? Thanks.

magicians coin or two headed (or tails) nickel... check just inside the rim on either side for a seam.. they mill out a nickel with rim left intact, then cut down another to fit inside it...

Here's a photo. I guess I can see a seam. . . The one on the left is the one in question, here's both sides.

 

Yup, I see the seam.

 

yea i see it too,, i have 2 two headed nickels, had three but 1 went thru the wash and came apart,,

 

Thanks for the quick replies. Good day all.

 

my grandfather told me this story from the depression, he said a guy came and offered to flip him, heads you lose tails you lose, he agreed and lost a nickel on the toss

 

Heads you lose, tails I win, works sometimes
