Tails I win.....Heads you loose.

You'll never loose a flip as long as you bet tails! It's almost like magic!

No problem S..C the half has been cut into 2 sides with a lathe so it can be put back together and a magician will hide a Peso or whatever inside and suddenly make a different coin appear than the half dolllar ... I was looking video but cant seem to find one at the moment ... I am sure that some will post one , Ed

 

[silvercop]

so what you are saying is there is a way to get the half open right?

The video on you tube is called scotch and soda I think.
The two headed or two tales ones I have are glued together
but made the same way as the magicians coin.

The double heads or double tails halves do not have anything in them. The others (one's that look like normal halves do have another coin in them) usually have a Mexican centavos or a British half penny. Sometimes they contain other suprises!

I have found a couple 3 to be exact. They are not Magician coins like the ones pictured above but are altered and I would consider them a novelty.
