We also do "Custom Shrinking!" We can shrink many other coins and medallions, including many foreign coins. Some examples of foreign coins can be seen here. Custom shrinking can be done for customer-provided foreign coins. Custom Shrinking pricing is based on the original diameter of the coin. Magicians - Please note: We can shrink quarters to any size between normal to smaller than the diameter of a dime. "Barely shrunk" coins are virtually indistinguishable from regular
coins unless placed side-by-side with a normal coin. These unique coins offer many possibilities for new
illusions!
|
|
Although we usually shrink quarters to 70-75% of their original diameter (slightly smaller than a US Dime), we can adjust the degree of shrinkage upon request. We can also "custom shrink" many other types of coins or tokens. Over the years, collectors have sent us Silver Eagles, European coins, Asian coins, bimetal coins, transportation and tax tokens, and even gold bullion coins to "shrink to order". Whenever possible, please send 1-2 spares of any uncommon coin to be custom shrunk so that I can "tune" the process for your coins. This also allows for potential process dropout - coin shrinking is still somewhat of an art...

|
| NOTES: |
| 1: US cents minted
after 1982 are made from copper-plated zinc. These do NOT survive the shrinking process - they simply explode
in a shower of molten zinc droplets! |
| 2: US steel
cents (1943) don't work
either. We get good results for bronze coins (1910-1942) and best
results for Indian Head cents. |
| 3: Because of their higher
electrical resistance, copper-nickel alloy coins (such as US nickels)
do not shrink as much as most other coins. The shrunken diameter will
be about 90% of the original
coin. Some nickel alloy coins may also exhibit slight surface
roughening ("frosting") after shrinking. |
| 4: For custom shrinking of uncommon coins or tokens, please send 1-2 spares so that I can "tune" the shrinking process. This also allows for process dropout. Coin shrinking is still more an art than a science. |
| 5:
Because of their higher surface features, "Proof coins" simply don't
shrink well at all - in fact, they usually are warped and quite
ugly-looking! Circulating coins are strongly recommended instead. |
| 6:
We usually supply coins minted by the Denver Mint coins for state quarters and sets.
Customer can specify otherwise, but this may add a delay in shipping and possibly added cost if we need to purchase coins. |
| 7:
Higher
surface features on some coins (and ALL Proof coins) can create
internal
force imbalances during the shrinking process. For example, Kennedy's
bust develops a small concave indentation near his left ear and a
matching convex
projection of the shield on the reverse side. Older style (pre-1992)
Washington quarters and copper Lincoln Cents (minted between 1942-1982)
tend to push
out the face of the coin, creating a matching concave region on the
tail
side of the coin. This is an inherent
property of these coins and is unavoidable. |
| 8: Newer Canadian quarters (those minted since 1995) are made from nickel-plated steel. Since these only shrink about 1% due to their poor electrical conductivity, we do not offer them. |
| 9: Since they shrink better than plated-steel or copper-nickel alloys, we only offer Canadian nickels made from 100% nickel (i.e., those minted between 1955-1981). Some nickel coins may show a bit of surface roughening or frosting from the shrinking process. |
| 10:
Pure silver or silver alloy coins may become slightly discolored with a light yellowish tone
due to electrical heating during the shrinking process.
This is normal and is unavoidable. |
| 11: We do not offer silver dimes or quarters, since these fracture and often turn an ugly brassy yellow-green color due to stresses and flash heating during the shrinking process. |
