<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laz, post: 994, member: 53&quot;]Your odds are about 100 million to one against your coin being a genuine Mint error.Most are indeed novelty coins.Here&#039;s a quick test.Get another Half Dollar from the same period,if it&#039;s Silver,get another regular Half from that era.Drop the Silver Half onto a counter top several times,and listed to the &#039;ring&#039; of the coin as it hits the counter.Now try your novelty coin,and listen closely.It should be a dead thud compared to the ring of Silver.This is because there&#039;s a separation between the two sides.</p><p>If it passes this test,you&#039;ll need a very good magnifing glass to closely examine the edges and rims of your Half.I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll need to go this far though.Here&#039;s a Error World article about two headed/tailed coins </p><p><a href="http://groups.msn.com/ErrorWorld/ismytwotailedcoinreal.msnw" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://groups.msn.com/ErrorWorld/ismytwotailedcoinreal.msnw" rel="nofollow">http://groups.msn.com/ErrorWorld/ismytwotailedcoinreal.msnw</a></p><p>Don&#039;t feel bad,it fools lots of people.I recieve a couple requests per week on this very subject. ~ Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
