Hi
I am planning to purchase an expanded s
Which coins are better?
Sasco seems a lot cheaper, but how's the quality?

Thanks.

Sasco is AWFUL. If you have the means... don't walk, run toward Todd Lassen. His quality is unmatched, however he is expensive. Barring a substantial investment with Todd, go for the Johnson's Products. I've only heard very good things about them.
I have a set of Sasco Kennedy half shells and they are all but useless. They are obvious and they don't even fit over the genuine coins properly.

Stay away from Sasco expanded shells at all costs!

Best of luck!

Todd is not expensive, his prices are a deal for what you get.

If you compare Todd's prices with what Johnson products retails at for real silver coins (not clads) Todd's prices are pretty darn similar.

If you are buying the cheaper clad stuff then you will pay less money. If you are going that route, forget anything else than Johnson Products.

Without question Johnson. Sasco may be a little cheaper in price, but Johnson wins quality hands down.

Take a look at themagicwarehouse.com for Johnson silver coins. They have silver expanded shells for $45! Not bad!

Todd Lassen makes the best coins hands down and they are worth every Penny.

Sasco is absolutely horrid!!! Go with Johnson. The Sasco gaffs break and wear away.

Go with Johnson. If you can afford it. Go with Lassen's.
