You'll have no way of knowing who is pulling your leg unless you were standing beside them while it was being made. All you need is a couple of coins that are only worth face value to make one of these magician's coins (assuming you already have the equipment), and once you have polished them a bit, sell them for twenty or more times their face value. ~ Chris
That's the Scotch and Soda magicians coin Google it. The Obverse Kennedy is a hollowed out shell and the piece you found fits into it. @ldhair @cpm9ball You guys will like this one.
