"Do they all open? I have an obverse 1964 Kennedy and thr rebverse is the liberty bell. It is perfectly put together and there is no evidence of 'putting' thje coin together. Maybe a small mark on the edge of thje coin but that's it. Anyone ever hear of on like this? Actually waht brought me to these boards. Thanks"

In general, if a put-together Magician's coin looks normal then it will come apart. If a close examination shows that it is not a normal coin, like yours, then it does not come apart. If you think about their purpose, and how they could be used by magician this will make sense.

1 Walker is my next goal !
Nice finds

I was able to score four rolls of halves while dumping dimes today. I thought they might be somebody's dumps because they had familiar wrappers. But there were 5 40%ers and '72-S and '73-S proofs! There was also a '92 that appears to have been chrome plated and then had its edge worn off in a casino.

I'm sitting on a 4 box skunk streak :S

In picking up a box of cents today I nabbed $210 in CWR halves.15 40% and I was able to just drive across the street and dump the duds. Not bad for 15 mins of work :-)

I am loving the world of halves :-)

I was at just the second bank when I heard a teller say, "We don't have any silver halves." Another one asked her how she knew. "1969 and earlier."
I told her I still wanted them. Sure enough, one was a 1967!

I was so glad my skunk streak was over. A few minutes later, my car started acting up. I took it to a shop, and got a ride home. I then hit a few more banks and got nothing good but a 2004 BU half. I went back to a bank that last week said they could order halves. The teller that told me wasn't there, and all the others had no idea what I was talking about.
