from the ad...ONLY 50 WILL BE MADE; IF YOUR A FAN OF MAGNUM PI OR FINE SWISS WATCHES, YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THE STYLE OF OUR LATEST COIN AS THE FAMOUS "PEPSI DIAL" GMT...ITS GUARANTEED TO INCREASE YOUR PHOTO LIKES BY AN AVERAGE OF 66.66%.

looks more like the 'Franklin Mint' of tacky...nothing more than a cheap pocket piece being advertised to assure one of exclusiveness, popularity & coolness. where do these entrepreneurial morons come up with this stuff? doing the math...a 'limited production run' of 50 units x $25.00 retail = $1250.00 gross (less production costs). the proprietors are obviously not very enterprising.

Ball marker for golf would be about the only use for me.

Would make a cool card protector (for the poker players). That's about the only use I see for it. Would just have to be aware it could lead to a subconscious tell seeing that it is very obviously different on each side.

Must be an inside joke. I don't see the appeal to have something commemorating a fictional character fro a show that ended over a decade ago. And it's not even Magnum PI, it's an advert for their website.... Lame

I got the impression that they'll make as many as they need, but only number 50.

That's not explicit, but I don't see the point otherwise.

"Limited Edition" aka Limited to the quantity we can sell.

curious where they are being manufactured...no mention of USA. if being produced somewhere 'overseas', the mark-up must be astronomical.

Maybe they can make it into a virtual game like Pokemon and collect them on the phone.
