Wespetty,
You're right. Thanks again!

Mike Wild:



I thought the Schneider Dragon coin was a silver dollar size coin. The C/S/Brass set I have is just that.

RE: "I thought the Schneider Dragon coin was a silver dollar size coin. The C/S/Brass set I have is just that."

It is. I have a couple custom sets from Todd L that use the Schneider coins, and aside from my U3F set, they're the only dollar-sized coins that I use. I prefer half-dollar sized coins.

I think the best feature of the Schneider coin is its thickness, or more to the point, it's "thin-ness". In my post above I was simply wishing that the coins came in a smaller diameter, equal in size to a half-dollar, but retaining their thin-ness.

You make a good point, it would be nice if it had a smaller version.

When I do the C/S/B with my Todd Lassen Silver Dollar size set that uses the Schneider “Dragon Coin” it is always the coin that gets the most attention when I hand them out for inspection, before and after I do my routine.

I think Todd purchased all of the coins (Dragon) that Al Schneider had, so he (Todd) would be able to provide them with his gaff coins.

Very true Bob, Todd told me that he bought all of the remaining Schneider coins a little while back.

If the hole is not a requirement, and if a Japanese coin will suit your style and preferences, the Japanese 2 Sen coin (circa 1884-1889) is a very nice cooper coin with a beautiful dragon design on one side, and a lovely flower design on the other. It's a little "thick", but is only about 1.5mm larger in diameter than a half-dollar. I found them in VG to AU condition at my local coin shop for about $8 each. I had Todd make a couple of goodies for me using the coins... They are perfection.
