Anyone know where to find those large novelty coins? I had the smaller one from Honigs which I think I left on the field today.

I got one from my wing man which is 4 inches in diameter with an Indian head on one side and a buffalo on the other. He said he got it in Branson, MO. Usually there is at least one holy **** mumbled when I pull it out. It is awesome cuz no wind effects it and it will never be on end in the grass.

Yeah they double as a bullet proof vest for bad officials.

I've always been fine with just a standard Eisenhower dollar coin. I've no idea where to get one these days, but they're not particularly valuable, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I use a Silver Dollar as well, alot of kids have never seen one and the other day in a youth game one kid said "Wow, a Silver Dollar, you must be rich"

I think you can get large replicas of american coins from the US Mint gift shops, etc. Maybe even online.

Try one of those dollar stores. That's where I got mine!

I use a Kennedy half-dollar. Big enough for me.

By Large I asusme you mean those 3-4 inch ones. I have seen them in some Dollar Stores but you can always find one in a Tourist Town at a souvenior shop. Frankenmuth, Mt Clemens, Traverse City, Mackinaw Island, Etc.

If you mean silver dollar size I would try a coin shop, bank, or Hornigs for their Zebra Coin.

Try this web site for large novelty coins. I use one for both football and softball. I got mine at a gift store up in Reno, NV.
