    Hi Guys,

    I am not a serious coin collector but a had some half dollars for awhile and one day I was going through some of them as one suddenly felt from my hands on the table and for my surprise I saw a coin in half, I mean just split in half. I have never seen such a thing happen before my eyes, first thing that crossed my mind was, this must be fake. But who would make late seventies fake coin? The eagle is pressed out of a 1967 one British penny.
    I would appreciate any information regarding this coin.

    Photo would be nice, but at this point I will settle for a charcoal sketch to scale.

    Magicians coin. Show a half dollar, a little sleight of hand while you pop out the reverse and turn it around and the "half dollar" turns into a British large penny.

    the files are probably too large. there are several ways to shrink them.
