I bought a couple of the commemorative #Dogecar Dogecoins which I took along to the coin club on Thursday (and ended up giving away a paper wallet with a few coins in it, but that's another story). Now I trip over this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/28b0xu/i_cut_a_silver_dogecoin_in_half_was_it_silver_all/ in which the author details his forensic tests to determine if the coins are real, after coming across some silver-clad copper fakes elsewhere.

What a horrible thing to do to any coin. Truly Trout Mint-worthy! Then again, even Troutski wouldn't be this cruel, would he? ;)
Looking at http://shibemint.com/ I figure he managed to chop not only the coin in half, but its value as well. :(
If that is silver then there has been NO loss in value.
I am pretty sure that these types of rounds have NO numismatic value.
An ounce of silver is still worth an ounce of silver regardless of how many pieces it comes it :diablo::)
And YES I have done this to a badly corroded and ruined penny, Just to see how sharp one of my swords was. :angel:

If you read the thread, you'll see he actually got his money tipped back to him, so he's ahead by an ounce of silver. :)
As for numismatic value, I could say the same about tokens, medals and Foy's bags, but what would I know? :)

I have NO argument with that line of thinking :angel:
