*[SOLD]* Bartl Magic Palming Coin *PreOwned*

YOU WILL GET ONE COIN.

Specially minted magic tokens and coins have been a part of magic acts for well over 150 years.
Many famous magicians have used them, especially magicians who specialized in palming and manipulation.
Others sold them to fans and collectors or gave them out as souvenirs.
Many of these tokens are very collectible, and some are now extremely hard to find.

This coin was issued both as a collectible and as a palming coin.
It is approximately the size of a U.S. half dollar coin.
As can be seen by the photos above, this was an especially thin palming coin, a very desirable kind of coin for working magicians.
