Combined US Wheat Ears 1 Cent and UK George VI

Hi all,

This coin appears to be a combination of a United States Lincoln-Wheat Ears 1 Cent reverse (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces908.html) and an uncrowned King George VI (United Kingdom) obverse, like https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2840.html

Weight: 4.3g
Diameter: 19mm on the US side, 18mm on the UK side


Any idea what's going on here? I'm very confused... Thanks so much for the help!

It is clearly 2 coins stuck together, possibly as a magicians prop. Although it is unusual to use 2 different coloured coins.

Looks like this was a coin made for doing magic tricks. Do the two sides come apart?

If it was once able to come apart, now it’s too jammed together. Thanks for the quick reply everyone!
