Skull Head Coin (Multiple Versions Available)

Gary

I bought the Victoria skull head coin. As you can see by the images above, it is based on a silver Victoria "bun head" crown dated 1844. I would assume that the manufacturer has used the same date on all the Victoria coins. However, the date is quite small and your audience won't notice it.
Compared to my Ellusion pirate coin (Morgan dollar size) the Victoria crown is ever so slightly bigger in diameter. It's also slightly thicker and therefore slightly heavier. It looks like silver but I found my silver half crowns have a warmth that this coin does not. But this is hardly a complaint. It's not a "soft" coin but it doesn't feel cheap or rough at all.
The coin is great. And if you're looking for something unusual for your coin magic, you won't be disappointed. I plan on using it in conjunction with my pirate coin for spellbound and on it's own for one coin routines.
In conclusion, I'm very pleased.

• Doug asks: gimmicked coin by menci....in ad.....but you said " ungimmicked".....please explain.....?????????

  • 1. Mark answers: Daniel your definition of gimmicked is totally wrong. Just because a coin isn’t of legal tender doesn’t make it gimmicked. Would you call a normal Chinese coin gimmicked?...No.
  • 2. Sgkyduyen answers: It's ungimmicked coin, just a regular coin with the skull on it
  • 3. Daniel answers: It is not gimmicked in the traditional sense of the magic world. It doesn't have any sliding holes and doesn't bend so you can shove it in a bottle. It is a gimmicked coin because it is not a real coin you can spend, which is really what gimmicked would mean, it's a hand crafted metal gimmicked coin that looks cool to add something you can show off in your coin tricks.

• Roger asks: Hi, looks great. Is the Victoria head an English Penny, and what year on the coin please? Any chance of an image before purchase? Thanks

  • 1. Gary answers: I don't have one of these coins but I believe it is a version of a Victorian crown featuring the skeletonised image of the young queen. British crowns are about the same size as a US dollar.
