Tossing Coin - ASA
 
Lads
I have a Coin that was given to me a few years back, and I am trying to find out who makes them. Anyone have an idea who the supplier/manufacturer is please?
Tried to upload but it was too big, so I'll describe it
USA Flag on one side with God Bless America
On the other Side
is ASA of Pennsylvania with the umpires e-mail address on it
Around a Face Mask

Anyone know of this Coin?

I know very well the umpire. I am not sure of the specific company he used, but I will find out soon.

However, for my coins, I use Midwest Trophy. This is the same company that the ASA uses for their coins. MTM CoinSource

My experience with them was very good. They were fast with my art (I gave them a rough sketch) and made one alternation in about 10 minutes. The coins take about 8 weeks after you approve the art. And they have dies already cast that can save you some money ($100-$150). They are a bit more expensive than the coin you received from Sonny, but it is also a better quality coin.

Have you tried emailing the address?

Spencer,
Either the Big Slick or I will find out from Sonny who made the coins for him & respond here. He's given those flipping coins each year he's been at the Indoor Cup tournament. Are you looking to have some coins of your own made?

I'll see Luau next weekend. If no one has contacted Sonny by then, I'll ask him.

Understand you have made contact and are in the process of having a coin produded.

Glad you made the connection!!

Hi Spencer,

Are you going to toss for home field in the UK next summer? I guess the ref's in football (soccer) and/or rugby have their own coins to flip. Can't you buy those?
Maybe yo can use an old style Lire or Greek Drachme. Is more worth than a Euro, these days...

If I have to ref a rugby game at my son's club (< 9yr), I always use one of Sonny's coins. Those lovely boys never heard about softball :mad:
Will you say Sonny Hello from me, when you see/write him again?

Tomorrow the dutch blue's will come all together. To review season 2011, make a start for 2012. Normally at this meeting the ump's for Schiedam/Indoor Cup also are assigned. Will you go this year?
Does anyone else know which US ump's are coming to Holland this winter?

Sander,
Sonny is coming again - I think this will be #7 for him. I'm going to be making my 3rd trip. We've some others coming for their first time.
Let me know if you're going to be working there - you too, Spencer.
