That's the spirit.


Sometimes novelty coins have a bigger market than the original. I gave a giant coaster-sized Lincoln Cent copy as a prize in a contest before I realized they're sold for $10 on Amazon. Oh well (I would have given it anyway). I still have the giant Kennedy half.

it's troubling that you got it from a bank.


Maybe. I think it's more encouraging for those seeking silver in bank rolls. I think a Coinstar would have kicked that out immediately but, it seems, banks aren't as discriminating in a counter-intuitive way.

Hey, even if this is a Magician's coin, I got a $10 novelty item for 50 cents! :)
Yes, you did. Very nice!

It's a Magicians coin....drop it on the floor, making sure it lands on its edge and it should separate into two pieces.

Popular variations of this " Magicians coin" that I have seen include the reverse of an old English penny, an old US Large Cent and the eagle Obverse of an old Mexico 50 Centavos paired with the original Kennedy reverse.

Nice find!
