Didn't Know This Was A Thing. Double Sided $1 Coins

I no the counterfeit magic trick double sided 20c coins, but never new the counterfeit magic trick $1 coins were a thing. So just wanted to warn ppl to be extremely careful if you see these for sale. I'm pretty sure these are new


Checking out the seller will only be beneficial so I highly recommend it to save yourself from being scammed as they have heaps of counterfeit coins.
This person isn't scamming they sell these magic coins legit as magic coins but some people get other ideas.
Straight out scammers make me sick and I would love to see them try scam me face to face, this would be a pleasure

Seller thinks he had it verified by the Australian mint as double struck I asked him for the verification and he stopped msging. He tried to show me US double dies as an example of proof that it's double struck
These are the sort of people who ruin collecting and if you look at other listing's you would think they are legit. But after msgs it's pretty obvious they scammer.
OH AND YES you MUST include postage or he will be losing money

So I often see this coin selling way overpriced as a double struck coin when it isn't and want people to be aware not to be fooled, this is strike doubling!

Also who sells a coin worth 20k+ unslabbed? Weird

I find these on heaps of coins but mainly on 5c and 20c coins. Pretty much every noodle I see these I think that's why no one really looks for these, they are too common of an occurrence

I understand there's no glue or anything but just look at one of my old threads I have a similar thing on coin with raised section on coin and the conclusion was its a stain. So now in my mind these things arnt laminations. Was hard for me to accept as well, you may have worked in engineering with metals but I have worked in smelting metals, making silver bullion, making calcium, copper and lead bars and I still don't understand how stains like this occur I never seen or heard of it before collecting coins.
All I know is if it is some sort of error then this site has too many people being trolls

Lastly, took the coin to a local dealer and confirmed what I have said previously. " A wonderful find, " was the comment.

Can I just ask what "a wonderful find" is called? Like the name of error? Or did dealer just say "a wonderful find"?

Found this and put aside can't figure out if it's the beginning of a lamination or just a stain? Or could it be something else?






I also noticed on HM eye a mark but not sure if that's a ding or not can see it in 2nd pic.
Thanks guys! Look forward to what people think

If not adhesive then from past experience it's a stain. Give acetone bath for few hours, if its still there most likely a stain

If it didn't have the sd I would still keep even in bad condition but I can see the sd on it so with it being in that condition it's worth 2cents

I seen this in quite a few 20c coins it is 99.9% pmd like a ding that flattens the '2' baseline and makes it look wider, I can even see the ding at baseline of 2. Metal on coins can be moved even an entire letter for example can be moved to look like it is incorrectly positioned but this is not possible because for only a single letter to be out of place means that letter is out of place on working die which means there would be more of these errors out there. Also It wouldn't be a cud because it has no characteristics of being one also doesn't have characteristics for die deterioration (click highlighted words to see more information)

Here is an example of a 20c coin I found to show how it is possible for metal to be moved, my coin in picture has pmd



I'm sure if I go through my 20c coins I will find one like yours if I find time I will have a look.
I hope this could help you

So if this is inconclusive what are my options to get this checked out properly? A coin dealer? But where? I hate dealers for the reason of once yrs ago I went to one and because my coins were from circulation not minted he refused to look at them and just said they rubbish. Didn't even glance at them. Since then I never felt like going into another coin dealer again. His arrogance was really annoying and off putting. I even remember bringing my 10c die clash as a "look I got actual errors" sort of thing

The flat spot between them 2 lines is not indented that is the area of coin that should be flat the 2 raised lines should not be there
The part that goes through base of one I am unsure if that is pmd or not because of coin being well circulated and has dings all over.
Also obverse to me looks normal, unless I'm missing something? Here's a pic.
