Luke New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/17/2010 09:10 am Just inherited an interesting coin collection. I'm pretty good at mining the web and have identified many of the coins, but this one baffles me. All the other coins in the collection are 18-20th century. Any ideas? It's thin, rather large (see dime for scale), and has what appears to be Hebrew writing (just a wild guess). thanks! Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 17005 Posts	Posted 07/17/2010 10:11 am Strange indeed, but not unknown - we've seen a couple here on the forum, like in this old thread. It's a "magic coin", struck as an advertising piece to promote a touring magician (and perhaps sold as a "lucky charm" during the tour). In this case, the magician is Anna Eva Fay, an American "stage psychic" from the early 1900s; her AEF monogram appears below the somewhat crudely depicted Hindu deity. Listed as MT129 on this website. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
