I ahve this 1977 Kennedy half Reverse is Rotated and Very Deeply Set with a Very High Rim. It sounds like plastic when is hits a hard surface But I can still see the copper.

The Reverse again, is very very Deep. I took as best of a photo to show you. Weight is 7.18grams

Is this anything good? Or maybe just a magician Coin or Counterfeit of some sort?

It almost looks like the reverse was removed and the core hollowed out before the reverse was put back in. You can see part of the rim in the indented part of the reverse. But I'm no expert, nor could I say why someone would do that other than too much time on their hands or they really wanted the copper.

Edit: It struck me, by doing that it offset the weight of the coin to rig flips, so yes this is a Magician's coin that's rigged to always land on tails.
