<p>[QUOTE="Steven Sander, post: 2993043, member: 93191"]Hello fellow coin roll hunters. I recently came across two odd halves while coin roll hunting. While searching, I do and edge search followed by a date/mint mark search and lastly a drop test onto the pile of coins. Right or wrong, that's how my wife and I search halves. Two of them recently found have a higher pitch sound when dropped. One is a 1979 plain and the other is a 1973 plain. We have found, in the past, two of those magician trick halves. Those had a lower dull hollow sound when dropped. I did try to separate these two most recent higher pitch halves by shaking them in a Tupperware dish much like I did with the other magician coins but to no avail. Does anyone know why these two would sound so much different then a regular half dollar? They both have a clad copper edge so they can't be silver. Thanks in advance.</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
