I was wondering if anyone knew some good sites for a variety of gimmicked coins. I am specifically looking for one that you can bend but that snaps back when you are not applying pressure. Kind of like a rubber material or something similar? Or perhaps it doesn't necessarily snap back but you could unbend it to regain it's natural shape? Is there anything like that?

You could buy a folding coin. You can get one at www.penguinmagic.com www.tangomagic.com or any other magic shop pretty much. Search for folding coin or bite coin
Oh I have that coin, but I am looking for what I'm describing. Not a folding coin like that where there is a break at the end.
It's either a folding coin or a flipper coin. There's no "rubber coin" if that's what you're thinking of.
There are ways vaguely described how to make a realistic coin out of aluminum foil. I know somebody who tried it and it came out horrible lol. There is this "new" coin bend on the market now by Eric Ross that looks like what you are describing, but idk if it's a gimmick or not.
You want to search "SILVER SHIFTER".
As to there being no rubber coin trick...
You want to search "SILVER SHIFTER", too.

Silver Shifter
Sounds like silver shifter is what I am looking for although a bit more expensive than I was hoping. I know of the Eric Ross product. I actually figured out how he does both versions of his effect just by watching the trailer so I figured I would just look for the gimmicked coin and do the effect, however silver shifter is twice what his DVD costs so perhaps I should just get his DVD anyway.

Read a bunch of reviews on the silver shifter; apparently it looks really fake and is not such a great gimmicked coin, so anyone thinking of getting it look at some reviews.

You will probably disregard this, but it's worth a try. Years ago there was an old gag published called "the bendy coin". It was a quick 2 second "trick" where the coin was held at your fingertips and you would apparently bend it back and forth multiple times, and it REALLY looked real. It looks really good and gets some decent reactions, but it should only be presented as a joke or a pre-bend. I suggest finding this, I know there are tons of videos out that show this or teach it, Curtis Kam including.
