Please let me know what this is and how to date it?? Is it worth anything??? 

 

Can you make a picture of the edge?

 

it looks like two coins..??

But thickness is the same as one coin. Maybe slightly thicker.

2 halves soldered together by someone in a factory with a suitable grinding table to skim half of each coin off

I had one years ago, a George VI penny, there are 2 types of  the Obverse script, one with IND IMP struck  from 1937 - 48  and one without after 1949 and the clever dick who soldered the halves together used one of each😅 only a coin collector would notice probably.

 

By the way a genuine double head coin ( called a brockage) has one side incuse
