I'm disappointed with the Kreis magnetic half dollars. Based on the video on the Penguin Magic website, I bought two of them, and they are quite strong magnets. Unfortunately, they do not stand up to inspection. Any casual observer can see that the coins have been modified. This was not clear from the info on the website.

Years ago, when Pat Mollo was making special coins, he produced very high quality pieces. His coins were great, and easily passed inspection. The ones I've received are ok for some uses, but need to be switched out -- they can't be shown.

I don't think the website information about this product is clear enough (and might even be characterized as misleading). I think the product should be accurately described, and should help customers by clearly stating the limitations of these coins.

I checked several magic shop sites and they were asking from $42 to $48 each for these same coins. Also, I would suggest that you buy some new Kennedy halves from USMint.gov to match your mag coins. I had some older half dollars that were older, more worn and less shiny than the two Super Strong 2013 coins I purchased. The US Mint coins are uncirculated, so by using them along with the mag coins, attention won't be focused on the mag coins as being so different.

It is strong, sure.
It looks half dollar-y,yes.
But it can not be casually examined by anyone that has ever held money.

I need a strong coin for a mentalism routine, this is not the best choice.

But if you use two of them for the coins across they may be better.

For my use, 1 star. For not examined coins across, maybe a 3. Splitting the difference, I am rating a 2.

The coin bulges a bit and looks messy at the edges.

Still an interesting toy.

The coin works perfectly with Sixth Sense 2.5 -- and that's all it needs to do!

Thank you for your quick shipping.
I am pleased to have these magunetic coins. I want to try to use them at once.

100% realiable, a perfect acquisition. If you have the PK Ring DVD, you can improve many routines using this magnetic coin.

I use it with the "Sixth sense 2.5" and it works perfectly. Highly recommended.

Amazing well made coin. As it says ‘only limited my your imagination’!

Awesome coin gimmick If you got a purpose or routine, just keep it in a case or you will lose it forever and these coins are Pricey but worth it.

They are not cheap but I’m very satisfied. Don’t hesitate and buy them. I tried to find cheaper once with the same quality but I wasted time and money. So be smart and buy these. “Kreis Magic” gives you very high quality. The only negative I can say is that I wished I could buy these coins for 2 Euro Currency but if you want to use them in Euro you can buy the 50 Cent super strong magnetic Coins.

The Super strong magnetic half dollars coins are the perfect coins for products like “ The Silver Edge 1 and 2” and other similar products.
I don’t need to say that these Coins are very Strong. They are fast shipped by Penguin and very good packaged.
