I've seen a few of these before but never took any notice of them.

Is the 6d real or were these made just a few short years ago?
I would say made 5mins ago, he he
“Novelty coinâ€
Both coins are probably real but you can buy them better quality and cheaper separate
thanks. I have no intention of buying one, just interested.
Hi Lacey,Yes the sixpence is real,i think they machine the centre of the penny & then stick the sixpence in the hole.
The sixpence and the penny were genuine. I say "were", because obviously the penny is now damaged, and the sixpence is probably damaged too.
I have one of these i purchased from richard. Theyre a bit of fun. The sixpences are definitely real. I have seen a dealer with a bag full ready to be sent off to the guy who makes them. I think im right in remembering that there is no glue involved just stuck in there real good.
The company selling it usually has a supply of these available at the ANDA coin shows. They also have threepences inside half pennies. Little bit of fun I suppose.
I would be so much more impressed if they matched the dates up... not a 1934 inside a 1950!
They are a "Genuine" RAM Licenced item, the chap that makes them in Silverton (near Broken Hill)
used to make them to order. His licence expires in 2015.
