Guys..
I could use your help... I should be able to find this but haven't so far... a recent trick that came out as publicized here is terrific.. but it is easily done with half dollars...I would like to try to do it in quarters for the usual reasons..
I need a copper silver quarter to do it.. the closest I have come with some of the custom guys is an expensive two copper one silver set so I know what I am looking for is out there... I need something else for this but before I get that I want to find this. much appreciated if you all have a source.. if you want private message me and I will tell you the project.

Might gin and tonic set work?

Marty

You may have to have one custom made, which may be cheaper than buying a set designed for other purposes. You can use an English half-penny for the copper coin, which is the same size as a quarter.

Hey thanks .. I was pretty sure the half penney would fit.. I think I will go to Europe to see what's sold there.
thanks for your response.


Marty

I think they make a copper silver quarter Sacajawea dollar. (I believe Tango makes it as part of a set)

No need to go to Europe (I guess you're just kidding?). I found mine in a coin shop. You can also find them online, I'm sure.

Roy Kuepper has a half dollar-English penny on his site for 15.00 bucks. I sure he would make you a quarter version for around that price.

I have a couple of sets, one is a quarter and Italian 200 lire coin, the other is a quarter and Iceland Island Aurar coin. Both are beautiful sets made by TWOCAN, who is here on the Café.

I also have a Gin and Tonic set (A quarter and a two pence coin) and two Vodka and OJ sets (quarter and presidential dollar coin). However those are locking sets requiring bang rings.

Jim .. thanks for the message... could the gin and tonic be used a copper silver coin.. the locking is an advantage here.. I think that is what I want to do.. just want to make sure you can look at each side individually.


Marty

Yes. Mind you it is not as perfectly made as those by the custom makers, but as long as someone isn't going over it with the intent to ruin your act, then fine.

Jim

Im the only one to touch it in the routine...if you private message me I will tell you what I am working on... as if you couldn't guess.

Was a while ago but Johnson made them using half penny coins.
I asked Sasco to make the ones using Russian 5 Kopec coins and they were just fine.

I just did a quick search on google and found several shops selling c/s with a quarter as one side.
Google is your friend...

I sprang for the gin and tonic .. sure hope it works..
am trying to reduce Gea's It's Impossible to know coins..quarter with one unusual coin half pence.

who knows if it will play
