Unfortunately, neither. It's a magician's trick coin. Using a precision lathe, an operator cuts of one side of two coins and then snaps them together. A skilled operator can get the tolerance down so sharp it takes a 10x mag to see the seam. But there really is no value to the coin.

Hey, Jude (yeah, I bet you don't hear that often enough. . .) it sounds like an interesting novelty coin. If it's done right (hollowed out instead of glued) you've got a collectible there in its own right.

 

If you're registered with eBay you might photo it well (including the seam on the edge, if there is one). It might capture bidders interest, but be honest with what it is and with what it is not.
