Grifters

Love these coins! I hope you get more in stock soon. The instructional video was also really well made.

I've just received this and a little disappointed that they've changed the design quite a bit from the product description. It does have a note on the product description saying that the coin will be thicker than the one in the trailer, but that's not the only changes. It no longer has the milled edge. It is thick with a rounded edge. This means it is awkward to grip. It's fine for the finger palm made use of in the video, but when you try to place in classic palm the lack of milled edge and the rounded edge means it pops out quite easily. The thicker coin doesn't have the same look as the ones in the photo. The design has been made thicker, but it's to a point where this does not look genuine or even close. I have the David Roth set Murphy put out which has nice Morgan dollar replicas. This doesn't have that look. It just looks new.

On the video they cover sanding the coin to age it which I will try, but with the thicker design standing out I can see this will be difficult as there are going to be recesses that remain shiny. It's a shame as I do like the concept of the coin, a nice little curiosity that is ideal for a one coin routine, but it just doesn't look right and I can't see it will handle that well with the milled edge gone and the design sticking out a lot.

The tutorial is 25 minutes and it shows finger palm and then a few different vanishes. It's nicely shot, teaches the moves well and has a nice little one coin routine. You also get taught a couple of techniques for changing a coin if you want to make use of an extra coin and how to do a coin roll. Nothing ground breaking here, but it's a nice bonus as the coin isn't massively expensive.

I just wish the design was the same as the one pictured. If anyone from Murphy's reads this and has the old ones to send out I'd love one. Or if you produce more of these revert to the old design and I wouldn't mind buying another.
