I found this coin in my coin jar today. It is two pieces. One of the pieces is the front of a 1973 half dollar that is hollowed out. The second piece is the back side of the half dollar and the flip side is a Peso.

Appreciate your help!

@miller, first welcome to CCF. Second, you have there a so-called Magician's coin. A fun discovery!

Yes no prob. We see these posted here with some frequency. Most are not from two different countries though. Yours is worth saving to be sure.

Can that Magician's coin legally be considered a $1.25 piece?
