Miller0921 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/27/2020 10:06 pm 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!

Yours is worth saving to be sure.
