I am looking for sources to learn body learning ie coin on shoulder, hand, under watch etc. Basically routines similar to apollo robbins.

Eddie Joseph had a complete booklet on The Art of Body Loading. Loading coins on spectators was already used by Miette, the end of the 18th, early 19th century street magician who's approach is described in Jean Nicolas Ponsin's Nouvelle magie blanche dévoilée, physique occulte, et cours complet de prestidigitation, contenant Tous les Tours nouveaux qui ont été exécutés jusqu’à ce jour sur les Théâtres ou ailleurs, et qui n’ont pas encore été publiés, et Un grand nombre de Tours d’un effet surprenant, d’une exécution facile, et tout-à -fait inconnus du Public et des Professeurs ; ouvrage entièrment nouveau, Et le plus complet qui ait paru sur cette matière… Reims - Paris, Chez A. Huet, Brissart-Binet ; Adolphe Delahays, 1853.

Eric Jones has a nice routine on the NYCMS series where he body loads several times. I am sure it is also on his own dvd set.
S.E.M. (The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth) is a sun and moon routine unlike any other. Limited to 100 sets, here is the promo:

I take it you mean loading a coin onto your spectators and not stealing from coin droppers that are under your jacket or vest etc...

Eric's routine is, like everything he comes up with, elegant, classy and not offensive to his spectators in any way. As I had the good fortune of underlining in several occurences, Eric is the main perpetrator of the Vernon Touch which comes to him naturally (or so it seems).
Eddie Joseph's booklet was indeed about body loading on spectators. Now you could also adapt Roger Klause's Repeat Sponge Ball in the Spectator's Sleeve (which appeared in Roger Klause In Concert and forms part of John Carney's sponge ball routine) by replacing the sponge with a coin and the TT with a Sanada gimmick. Gregory Wilson is also teaching how to secretly load a coin under a spectator's watch in Off The Cuff (if my memory serves me well). Adding time misdirection by using a duplicate coin for a short effect in the meantime (a kind of Ascanio's Obliteration Parenthesis) makes this one a killer

That is a good idea with doing a coin up sleeve Lawrence. You could use a Sanada or an F. coin and a t.t. That would work as well. So if the poster doesn't have a Sanda but has a T.T. and an F.coin would be all set that way too.
Yes I'm talking about an !@#$%^& coin |

Real coin worker does not need a gimmick, his hads are the gimmick

Check out Apollo Robbins' "Coin on Shoulder" for a good climax. You can learn it on "Gregory Wilson In Action" Vol. 3 as that is where I first saw it.
