1st try coin roll hunting. Mysterious 1974 coin?

[bossbear]

Hey guys so today I tried my luck at crhing for the first time ever. I picked up a $500 box from my bank and have $500 coming every week now. I am friends with some of the employees from high school. Anyways in my first box I got a 1967 half! Woo but i found something even better perhaps.

I found a 1974 jfk half that seems to have the tails side broken in at the rim. The whole back side spins around if i turn it. It is also maybe a hundreth of a millimeter under the edge of the coin. Any clue what the hell it is?
It looks and feels like a normal coin but sounded differently when clinked with others.

Sounds like a magicians coin. Will it come apart?

Its a magician's coin. Put the coin in a thick plastic glass/tumbler. Put your hand over the opening and shake the $#@& out of it. It'll pop open.

Most definitely a magician coin. Time to shake the pickle jar. (I giggle every time I think about that - I'm so juvenile.)

The trick is that you paid .50 for it!
