    Weigh the coin and then weigh a regular half and see if there is any discrepency, also make sure that one side isnt a lot more worn than the other, and finally try dropping it on a hard surface and compare the sound it makes to a normal half. Posting pictures and the exact weight of the coin will help the experts as well.

    Howdy jointeehpa - Welcome to the Forum !!

    What you have is known as a magician's coin. They are manufactured as a novelty item and sold for a few dollars each by more sellers than you can imagine. Click Here - for an example.
