    I am new to coin collecting and only been doing it for a few weeks. I have been surfing CoinTalk for about that same time reading everything I can. I like it all, coins, paper, pretty much any that has age and history. Right now i am putting together sets from circulation.

    Today i found a two headed 1971 Kennedy half. I know its fake, but i think its kinda cool. I have attached photos. I hope they look ok.

    Yeah, you can just barely make out the seam. Still cool, I hear about these being found in rolls from time to time, yet in over $50k in halves searched, I've never found one, haha.

    It is a magician's coin. Search the threads here for numerous explanations of how they are made.

    Yeah, I've found one too. Kind of neat. I haven't used mine to cheat at a coin toss yet, but if I keep it in my pocket, then maybe someday the opportunity will come up.

    Neat find, and welcome to CT Manbeast! I am also building my collections from circulated coins as well (I get pretty excited when I find an AU or better coin in rolls-but when you put your sets together out of circulated rolls it's is like finding gold lol). Hopefully this is only the beginning of some cool finds for you-maybe the next time it will something $ real $ lol!
