I'm looking for a coin (quarter or half dollar) that has a playing card printed or etched on one side. I believe these are called Card-coins, my searching has yet to yield anything. Anyone know where I could find one of these?

Thanks,

Larry

Paul Diamond produced Card Coins about 30 years ago. I recently found one on E-Bay.

Sterling magic used to make coins with the index cut out. Mid 70's IIRC.

Just to clarify: The original Card Coins were etched on only one side. The one's at Kreis-Magic are cut all the way through.

Every "card coin" I've ever seen had the image cut all the way through. I have about 10 of them.

I'm looking for them to be etched on one side to be used as a card revelation. I have seen them before but never had a use for one. The ones I have seen were etched on one side and the etching was painted red or black to match the suit.

Thanks for all the replies!

I have a coin and card set from holdens c1950. It uses a miniature card, blank miniature card, and half shell. Let me know if you are interested. With this set the blank mini is signed and becomes the selected card. I provide miniature templates so you can print more cards as necessary. The signed cards can be given away. PM me if you are interested.
