Haven't posted here in ages. It has been a busy year for meteorite falls, and I've been gone a bit.
The offer -
The half dollar - Mexican centavos coins get into circulation because one of my fellow magicians spends it accidentally. As a whole we do have a habit of drinking long and hard at conventions. The dime shells that get into circulation almost never get found. But the halves CRHers recover.
The complete trick will have a shell US Half, a gimmicked core that fits in the shell which is US Half on one side and Centavo/Brit-Penny on the other, and a real Centavo or Brit-Penny. You guys will only find the shell&core. Occasionally you'll find the real Centavo and Brit Penny.
Once it gets into circulation, some shell distortion occurs which degrades it from being top performance usable. But still OK for practice.
I'm going to a our magic conference this year and I'd like to put some of these back into circulation with the newer kids.
So I'll offer a solid silver 1964 for a complete half/centavos pair. I'd prefer to get several from 1 person to minimize our shipping. Just PM me.
Caveats:
1. The half dollar shell should not be bent on any rim. Meaning it is still functioning
2. The Centavos also needs to be in good shape to slide into the shell
3. The Shell/Centavos fit must not be so blown that the centavos falls back out of the shell when it is upside down.
4. I need both pieces, the shell (US half that is hollow) and the core (half on one side, centavo (or Brit Penny) on the other)
5. If you have the real Centavos, please include them. I'd also like the real Brit Penny if you found it, but that's asking too much.
You should be able to separate the two with a 'bang ring' which none of you should own. Otherwise, put the coin in a soft plastic (not glass) cup and shake it side to side hard and they separate. If you ever use a knife blade to separate, you've likely ruined it. When shipping or storing, store them together.

Update
OK, I forget that this comes in 3 flavors. There is also a English Penny/Half magic coin as well. The Centavos/Half is more common in the South because of our proximity to Mexico, but the yankee magicians perfer the Brit Penny variant. There is also a Odd variant with a Chinese coin, but not seen often. I'll post a pic on the centavo/half. Again, in the picture the backside of the centavo will have a US half on it. (technically 1/2 of a half)

? Now, these guys can go ahead and take your 40%er but they can also hold onto them and sell them if they so choose. Obviously you feel like your might miss out on something by me responding the way I have. But now these guys may know something a little more about your motives. Gracias Amigo.
