    My old Dad when I was a boy would flip a coin and say heads I win and tails you lose. Fun to watch your videos

    I made some of these with old 10p pieces when I was an apprentice. I c/bored one coin out half the thickness of the coin to the inside diameter of the lip near the OD. With the 2nd coin, I turned the OD down to a press fit in the c/bore, reversed it into a smaller ‘collet’ and faced half of thickness off. I then pressed them together in a vice. No need for glue, the edge was untouched and the join was masked by the diameter in the coin. Visually it was perfect, the only giveaway was when you dropped it on a concrete floor, there was just a dull thud instead of the ringing noise.

    Hi Steve
    I found this video very interesting, as I've been making double headed coins for yrs, I find very light cuts WD 40 as lubricant, this will ensure they turn out flat and don't rock around on a flat surface when finished.
    When joining together I get 3 small spring clamps to hold firm, level with heads level, I've made a aluminium collet like yours but it has a shoulder that can go up to the chuck jaws, it has depth of half of coin, I know when I'm face to size when tool almost touches collet.
    I dress the outside dia with small fine file I find the soft copper then tends to fill any join, wire wool must try That as final polish.

    If you did a straight knurl on the edge, it would really hide the joint.

    If i remember correctly the old 2&6 and 2 shillings had a knurled edge, using those coins and knurling afterwards could help even more to hide the join.

      @@grahameblankley3813 superglue or double sided tape on a flat faced bar for mandril for chucking and pressure from the tailstock on the other side once centered in a 4 jaw. coins are relatively soft so using a scissor type knurler could work as they create less sideways tool pressure

    Ah ah ah ! Just at the end of the video i realized the funny thing ! Not just going on this work for playng with the lathe, the funny is "after" . . . When stayng with friends, for taking any choise, how much times we use a coin ! ! ! . . . . "HEAD or CROSS ? " . . . with your lathed coin you always WIN ! ( a thief sistem, i know, but funny for joking . . . ).
    Or - in international match of foot-ball, when is to be decited wich team will play with the sun beams agains face , let's decide with a coin . . . "I would prefer HEAD !" ( later no sun beams will be so much strong . . . )
    Or . . . having in left pocket the double HEAD coin, and in right pocket the double CROSS coin, you can leave the choise . . . extractig then the appropriate coin . . . really, a thief system !

    I never had a desire to obtain nor possess a "magic coin" until I saw this video. Now I can hardly contain my eagerness to convert nearly all the loose change I possess into a series of possessed metal lucre. I'm not sure what I have to gain by such an endeavor, nor do I know what one is supposed to do with one of these double-headed coins (win coin tosses? that seems hardly sporting, but then again magicians are cheats), but I gues I'll have to spend some time researching THAT.

      Yes, he should ( for common law rules, also in Italy is hardly forbidden to destroy or modify coins or money . . . ) BUT ( always we have a "but" . . . ) i'm not sure States of the whole world use to print money as much as gold they own . . . Normally they print much more that they should, and this is also the reason why money lost its power in years . . .
      So destroyng a coin ( with personal lost ) should be instead a benefit . . .
