Three in a roll. You won't believe!!!

I found three halves in a roll that deserve mention and explanation. 1st one is a 2010-s. The coin has a high luster and the raised emblems are like frosted. I would assume that this is a proof. The 2nd one is 1980-p. The coin has a gold luster on it and has extra stamps on each side of John's neck 1960, 1980. Then we come to the 3rd one. Now this is different. The coin is a 1776-1976. It looks and feels absolutely authentic on the front and on the edge. The back however is open and hollow and has a copper tent. It's like the mint didn't have enough metal content to finish the job. Any chance that this is a one-of-a-kind, highly prized fluck that will sell for millions of dollars and allow me to retire? Let me know what you think........Coinhound

Magicians coin on the third. The other two have minimal value over face.

Magicians coins are fairly common btw. I've found probably about 10 halves of them and a couple complete ones in boxes.

They have two parts, and you seem to not have the other part. It is used for magic tricks where the half turns into "copper." The 2010 half is proof, due to the S mintmark.

Just to further clarify what you have, your 2010S is a proof. They made both 90% silver and copper-nickel clad proofs in 2010. Your 1980 coin was gold plated (most likely real 24K gold, but so little of it that it really doesn't matter) by a private company to make money off the death and popularity of JFK. The 1960-1980 stamp signifies the 20th anniversary of JFK being elected President of the United States. To me its only worth face value, but you might find someone out there willing to pay a couple of bucks for it. Your last coin is half of a magician's coin used to perform a trick called "scotch and soda" I believe. Look that up on YouTube and you can see what your coin would look like if complete and how the trick works.
