Interesting reminder for the real "coin magic" lovers.
Ponsin, Jean Nicolas : La Nouvelle magie blanche dévoilée, grande initiation à la vraie pratique des célèbres physiciens-prestidigitateurs comme Pinetti, Jérôme Sharp, Decremps, Wals, Robertson etc... et mis à la portée des curieux par un amateur. Paris, Ruel aîné, 1852 [for the first edition] Ponsin describes the Classic Palm with the way to place the coin there from its position at the fingertips on p 201, On p 203 for smaller objects like a ring or a small coin, Ponsin describes a way to keep the coin in Classic palm. He then describes the Thumb Palm on p 202 Then comes the Change Over Palm p 209 The Shuttle Pass [naturally without the name coined -at the time for the Utility Switch- by Stanley Collins and made really popular in minutest details annd subtleties by David Roth] p 221 "Borrow a 5 Franc coin and have it marked. Have in the left hand another 5 Franc coin concealed. When given back the coin handed out for marking, do the switch. This switch is easy. Simulate placing the marked coin into the left hand, but keep it in the right hand, letting the one already in the left appear." Bobo Switch p 227 the switch is done exactly as described by Bobo but over the table instead of into the left hand. Small coins glued on the nail of the middle finger for a visual transfer. Body Loading Technique p 222 in the cuff or in the outer breast pocket Olivier’s Coin to the spectator’s pocket or sleeve p 221 Vanishing several coins and letting them appear from a spectator’s sleeve p 232 Forcing a number of coins to 7: deal with 14 coins, steal half of them placing the seven remaining ones in a spectator’s hand. Then ask the person how many of the coins she wants you to steal from her hand and to designate who’s the person she wants the coins to travel to: 1/3, half of them, ¼ of them… since 14 cannot be divided by 3 or 4, the person will have to say half. David Williamson’s Wand tapping sound p 234 Hold the wand in the right hand with the inner tip arriving in the right palm where several coins are palmed. When the outer wand tip hits the spectator’s sleeve up, the thumb and first finger act as a fulcrum and the middle finger pulls the inner tip in making it hit the coins in Classic Palm. Magician’s choice [now called Equivoque] p 223 Karate Coin p 209 ... a couple of weeks before the magnificent version by Eric Jones Coin through the table p 212 with a coin stuck under the table (p 214) as reinvented independently by Troy Hooser.
Magic is the art of emotionally sharing live impossible situations

Is there an English translation available?
I hope not, because I don't speak French and I've got way too much to read at this point.
