I am looking for the best Flipper Half dollar for 30 dollars or less. I have 50 to spend for my Bday, and I also want to get Nathan Kranzo's expanded shells which cost 20 dollars. So what one should I get?

custom makers are the best... but i bet you could find some sasco flippers? or maybe even a johnson?

Don't get Kranzo's shells. They are pure crap. If you want to be under $50, go for a Tango shell and flipper. Joshua Jay uses them, and I have the flipper. They're good, but not as good as Lassen.

you might even be able to get a johnson shell and a flipper.

Really, I have heard nothing but good things about Kranzo's shells.


Where can I get the Tango coins? I have also heard nothing good about Tango products.


I see a Sasco flipper on Penguin, but it is out of stock.

sasco has their own website, you can find it on coinvanish.com, then go to links and youll see sasco's website. And you can get tango's here on penguin

Eric, I like Tango's coins. I prefer Johnson, but the Tango coins will work.

Tango it is, I just needed a second opinion. Not that yours wasn't good enough Magicman, but Exodus put your suggestion on top.

What about Kranzo's shells Jeff? I like that you get 2 for 20, but if they aren't good quality, I will settle for one from a tangible source.

They're alright. I saw one from Troy Hooser's Shellraiser video. They fit snug, so you have to be careful. Worst case scenario, the Flipper won't fit. I'd got with a Johnson shell. I didn't like the Tango Shells much. They're alright for the price, but the extra money is well spent.

Now is a magnetic flipper necessary, or is that just overkill?

I finally found a Tango flipper at Murphy's, but it is magnetic.

It's a bit overkill for some people, but I've been thinking about having Schoolcraft fix mine to make it a magnetic. It makes it very easy to hold out and sneak in.

Ok, so I got a Tango Silver Kennedy Half, and a Tango magnetic Kennedy Flipper.

I also threw in a couple of other things to bring me about 50 dollars and with my 10 percent discount, brought me back under 50 dollars, and I still get the Promo!!! Gotta love loopholes!!!

how do u get thw 10% doscount? and you should be happy with the products your getting

THey used to give it out with orders, but now they don't. I guess it's a perk of being a long time customer.
