It is strong, sure.
It looks half dollar-y,yes.
But it can not be casually examined by
anyone that has ever held money.
I need a strong coin for a mentalism routine, this is not
the best choice.
But if you use two of them for the coins across they may be better.
For my use, 1 star. For not examined coins across, maybe a 3. Splitting the difference, I am
rating a 2.
The coin bulges a bit and looks messy at the edges.
Still an
interesting toy.
