Hello there, I am pretty new to the forum and have really only looked around in the forums. In Spring, 2007 I purchased a purpleheart p/j pool cue from Mr. Dieckman sight unseen after having a very pleasant phone conversation with him. I had thoroughly read through his website and knew I wanted a cue from him. When I got it, it had a 1906 Indian head penny in it and after talking to him found out he had done that because the coin was 100 years old when he had completed the cue (2006). He told me that he had only done that on two other cues and it looks like you have one of them. At the time of my original call to him, he said he had another finished cue he had made for Sang Lee that he would sell to me for the same price but that the butt/handle was made very small because that was how Mr. Lee wanted it. I opted for the p/h. I was wondering if yours is the one he was talking about. Anyway, I thought you might find my little story interesting. The cue looks cool btw.

sscott910, first, let me welcome you to AZ's Forum, second yes this cue is to Sang Lee specie Long Butt/Short Shaft, but the special taper of the butt and shaft is what Dieckman was referring to. Btw Drawman623 have the other Coin Cue.

Dieckman Coin Cue
Here is my first Dieckman cue. I love the cue and the way it plays. Dieckman sold it to me at the US 3C Nationals in Kentucky.
It is a "coin" cue because of the Indian head penny, struck 100 years before the cue was made, that Dieckman inlayed into the butt section. It has a few other interesting distinctions. The entire cue is a single piece of Michigan birdseye. No wrap section piece. The cue also has the Native American figure Cocopelle (a frequent distinction to many Dieckman cues) and a purple heart butterfly on the opposite side.
National champion Sonny Cho tried the cue and ran a six before returning it with high compliment about Dieckman playability. The shafts were custom tapered to the specs of Eddy Robin. He is a former national champion and writer of the well known book Position Play in 3 Cushion Billiards.
