magicians coins

ugotit22 · May 27, 2014

Hey guys
Was cleaning out my coin area and came accross all the magician coins I've pulled since I started. Figures I'd share, they are rather fun to get bc you can't just spot them you need to hear them.
I've pulled 15 1/2
The half bc when I got it in the roll it had no back.
Of the fifteen
5 are British one penny's
3 are 2o centavos
And 7 are Mexican

That's pretty cool. I found a '65 centavos magicians half earlier this year and I was just checking my stash of other magician halves I've found over the years and I thought I had a few of them but I could only find a '67 Penny and two other coins I used to think might be magician coins but now Im not sure. One is a double sided reverse half and another is a double sided obverse '81P half. I just tried shaking them both in an empty coffee can which worked good for me earlier this year when I was having trouble opening that '65 centavos half but I still can't get either of these double sided coins open so Im wondering if they might both be glued together and they may not be magicians coins with a design on the inside. Has anyone else ever found double sided halves too?

I also just found four '82P no FG's I forgot I had

I've found 2 halfs, 1 had a English penny & the other had a Mexican coin for the reverse side. I also found half a magicians coin that was half a Washington quarter. It has the front but is missing the back. I thought it was weird because I thought that magicians coins were only made from half dollars due to the larger size. LOL, what little did I know.
