In fact, I think it's worth all his money. If I know how to machine coins and I have access to trade secrets, I wouldn't share any of it. Least not to a newcomer on a message board. And especially if I did the R&D work involved to get to the finished product. Does this make my position quite clear? |

Yeah, my bulb my be a bit burned out. Maybe I wasn't clear. The only part that was really directed toward you was the part about the number of post. I wasn't trying to be hostile. I just stated an opinion. If it was taken wrong, then I'm sorry.

Hi, thanks for the posts,
I know my English is not as good as you guys - I'm trying my best to explain. sorry if I have offended some people buy asking a sincere question. I did not see fact that you have to be reputable to ask such questions. Thanks Double J to point that out. I guess the question of wanting to know about expending shell is not just thing in the past. have a nice day. |

There are tons of people willing to share how card gaffs are made, so there is no reason you wouldn't think the same is true for coin gaffs (especially since few people have lathes and mills lying around). But apparently it is not true for coin gaffers. Maybe make a friend in the milling business and they will have an idea (sorry, but I don't). Eric |

Well summed up ebinary. Remember, if Houdini joined this forum today, he would have ONE post. Guess he would be a "newbie" too.

Yes, you are correct. He would be a newbie to this forum. I'm sure his first questions wouldn't be on the order of finding out trade secrets.
HELLO......... McFly |

I'm really worried now to ask questions in the forum (as a user who only posted 9 messages) as magic tricks are all containing trade secret as Double J correctly mentioned.
sorry if I have caused the confusion |

I really don't know much about coin gaffs, but it's my understanding that expanded shells are expanded before they are cut. That is, they get smashed (a technical term) which makes them thinner and bigger in diameter. Then they are cut. Most are tails side for a couple reasons. One is that you don't have to match dates. The other has to do with the relief in the heads side can result in a thinner, weaker shell.
That's all I know about anything. And I might not even know that. Come to think of it, don't read this. |
