I have acquired an interesting set of gaff coins and would like get some insight into what they are be used for.

Here's what they are:

3 C/S coins with an "X" cut out of the center
3 C/S coins with an "O"cut out of the center.

Someone mentioned it might be something from Steve Dusheck. Any thoughts?

Hugs and kisses by Al Schneider. I first saw it 20 years ago or more.
It's now being sold as Dots and Dashes.

Is it in print anywhere?

It's in his DVDs, but you got lucky, it's one of the rare routine by Al where there is a real potential for improvement. Use your brain and have fun.
Vinny Marini has some moves in a comparable effect that you may want to consider before designing your own routine

Thanks for the insight! When I stumbled across these I had no idea what they were of the effect, but I knew it was something I couldn't pass up. Now I guess its time to put the brain to work and figure some things out.

Yea When I frist came across a set aroud 20 years or so ago I worked out a handleing without the covers. IE. just in the hands! I don't know if I put it down on tape or not! it's been so long ago!

I think that's been the weirdest thing about this. There seems to be a bit of knowledge of the effect and its existence (even as the dots and dashes version from sterling magic) but I haven't found any video's of a performance anywhere.

Back then There where no on line Videos!!!
