I really like the concept but so far, several people that I did the trick for immediately notice the oddly wider bottom/base. In the videos they seem to imply it looks like another coin on the bottom but it sticks out quite obviously and uniformly all the way around. I think people should be aware of this due to the slightly higher cost of this effect.

I also agree with other with other reviews that mention the color of the stack, almost all quarters have almost 90% of the thickness visibly a copper color.

I forgot to add that the paint/color has already started to wear off on the metal/coin bottom facing side of the gimmick.

Not to mention that even silver quarters have a ridged edge..not smooth like a nickle. He tried to solve 1 problem and created 2 NEW ones 😫

I don't have the answer to solve the various issues with this trick but thinking one possible correction would be to make it a bit more of a messy stack rather than perfectly stacked. The US quarter does have ridges but do show more copper than silver, which could potentially be added to the stack.
