Probably a basic, stupid question that I already know the answer to, but I'm a bit baffled, so here goes:

What's the difference between a copper/silver coin and a sun/moon coin?

If I'm correct, is a copper/silver what you get with a scotch and soda set where there's a locking [, whereas the sun/moon comes with Hopping Halves and uses a regular expanded [?

Thanks in advance for helpful answers and a lack of jeering.

A sun and moon is basically a copper/silver coin with a shell

Yup. I checked Bobo after returning home from work and found the answers. Thanks for the pointer in the right direction.

I am still scratching my head on what this set is. (Same with the Tango ultimate coin .. can't find a description anywhere)

I have in front of me a Schoolcraft:
1) Walking Liberty shell
2) A Copper/Silver coin (Will fit in the shell)
3) A Copper coin (Will not fit in the shell)

Is this a Sun/Moon set? If so, can I do Samoya by Rob Thompson with it?

All small town magicians know what 793.8 signifies.

Just to let you know - if you haven't been told or found out yet - scotch and soda has nothing to do with either. However, the inside c/s coin and the smaller [ that fits it, can sort of serve as a sun/moon if no one sees it close. better to use a C/S with an exp [. but best is a shaved down C/S with a non exp [ that fits all the way down. A TWIAD set is perfect if you can afford it - not only a sun/moon but can be used as a C/S with scrutiny and the matching silver coin fits the copper [ also. Just my 2 centavo's worth.

EDIT - just saw the OP date - am sure you know by now

Yes, Sean, the sun and moon gaff is not locking.
