Okay, the half dollar isn't really broken but it is in 3 pieces, lol.
Here's a few oddities I've picked up over the last few months.
Nothing special except the fact that the 3 plated coins came from 2 different stores in my change.
The gold plated quarter at one and the silver plated Lincoln's at another.
The half dollar, I must admit I bought at a garage sale for $1.
Looks like someone was practicing with a scroll saw as you can see the rims have been partially cut into also.

Beat me to it. Dang professor is fast.

It had a rubber band in the slot. It folds then snaps back into shape.

Here is the center section of a Walking half, I found.
