I did just find one of those huge pennies in a roll of halves. The size match is a remarkable coincidence.

Of course this coin was the test piece precursor to the Kennedy silver clad copper half. Every once in a while HK Replica in China puts a few of these on the auction block.

45 for that coin is a steal! Id think its worth over 9000.

More than likely it is a "magicians" coin. I have seen similar coins that have been hallowed out and another denominational coin made to fit in the space that had been milled out.

I see they hollowed out the silver. Kind of a waste.
Not a bad job overall though. If that is/was a genuine walker
half what would be the denom. of the GB coin ?
Looks too small for a one penny.
