Heavy steel die with the well-known ?Maja/Goddess of Magic" design and the initials ?A.P.F." surrounding a central figure of a female fairy-like goddess producing a cascade of coins. Used to strike the dollar-size palming coin for Felsman's long-running Chicago magic shop. Diameter 1 ?", height 1 1/8". Dies for magicians' palming coin and tokens are uncommon. Felsman was the successor of Roterberg's famous magic business; it was Roterberg who first used this design on a magic token.
