I dropped it on the counter and it just made a plastic sounding thud (turns out to be lead, which is what makes it land heads). I also noticed that the reverse is upside-down, the D mint mark is too big, kennedy&#039;s head is too small, and the serifs on some of the font don&#039;t quite match. The coin does have both the copper and nickel colors showing from the edge. I couldn&#039;t figure out why the heck someone would make a fake of a common coin, and I only finally figured out it was a magician&#039;s coin when I was showing my dad that it didn&#039;t ring like a genuine half dollar, and I noticed it seemed to bounce weird... so I spun it 40 times on my kitchen table, and 36 of the 40 turned out heads!
