Adams palming coins?

Thanks Karnak. Are they both made by Adams do you know?

Just guessing here. But the design reminds me of palming coins I bought decades ago, when I was a kid, from a magic shop. And I noticed that one of them clearly says "Adams" at the bottom of the design (in your picture). Other than that, I got nuttin'.

I doubt that the coin and shell are from the "Mysto Magic" range, as the name was incorporated into the design of the coin...and I just don't see it. Unless there's something on the reverse side of the coin?
Cheers!

Thanks I don't see a name on the shell coin or those that accompany it.

The top picture looks very similar to Adams' "Multiplying Coin," which per the following website (which also includes photos, so you can see the resemblance) consisted of a coin, a shell, and a thinner coin that also nested: http://www.atlantismagic.com/albums/albu......0806.htm
The bottom picture (where the figure's face is more straight-on) looks more like Adams' folding coin, seen here: http://www.atlantismagic.com/albums/albu......0809.htm For additional examples, just Google "Adams palming coins." Looks like they used both designs, perhaps at different times.
