Ok so Im not a huge coin guy but I do enjoy the occasional coin wizardry. So I decided to work on a new coin routine that utilizes an expanded shell and set out to get a new Kennedy half dollar shell. I dont do enough coin work to shell out the bread for a Lassen or Schoolcraft so after some reading it was down to either a Johnson or Kueppers. I mostly went with Kueppers because he has a site and Johnson does not. I prefer to purchase things directly. On with the review....
I purchased his Magic shop series Kennedy half dollar expanded shell. It cost about $38.00.
I was VERY impressed. The amount of work that went into this gaff is very obvious. I detect NO distortion on the face of the shell, setting this down next to my other coin its almost impossible to pick out the gaff. My coins nest into it very deep as well, it almost covers the entire coin. I imagine getting a shell set from him would be even better.
As for customer service it was great. About a week after purchasing it and not receiving a shipping confirmation I emailed him. He very promptly emailed back letting me know that it had shipped that monday and that I would receive it soon. I got it that day.
All in all it is a great gaff and I highly recommend him for affordable quality coin shells. Any question or comments are welcome.
