I like the wooden flats like yours, alurid.I have a nice collection of coin related pieces...coin show announcements, etc. Some of them go back into the 1940's. I'll have to see if I can take a picture of a few of them.

The two color ink ones are some of my favorite.

 

State sets exist usually featuring the state seal. They did it again during the bicentennial. I use that set as markers to lead into my token pages. Presidents have been done many times. Most collectors (called LIGNADENDARISTS) at least collect their own states. Many collectors started off collecting everything then pared it down and have plenty of woods to trade. Some have additional specialties they like. I know the OP was being sarcastic. There are several national wood clubs. Since I don't recall the rules about mentioning things I will let any interested person look them up on google. This is just data for any follow up questions that he inspires.

 

I wood like see them if you you do.

 

I think this one is an error. It just don't seem right.


This is the correct printing.

 

I have seen this type of commemorative issues come in sets of 1,2 & 5 nickels. Only got the 1 (above post) & 2 for this one, assuming there was a 5 made.

 

Here is a post from a few weeks ago that had a good turnout of posters.

I did not realize they were so popular. Thanks for the show-n-tell everyone and for the post Collecting Nut. Be safe!

 

Here’s some more from my collection. I have at least 500 of them. I only took one sided photos.

 

Here’s another hundred.

I’ve got a couple of these

 

Then there’s these

 

I almost forgot these. Did you know that McDonald’s had a Wooden Nickel?

And here’s a Roadrunner from New Mexico:

 

And then there’s the Coke-Cola Wooden Nickel from Hawaii. This one is dated 1982. It was their 75th anniversary.

 

Here's a flat for a 1976 coin club. The interesting thing about this one is the elongated dime attached to it...very unusual.

A lot of nice pieces on this post. Very informative.

 

You have a number of these wooden nickels in your collection that are from Pennsylvania. Are you associated with the state in some way. I only ask as you profile doesn’t say.
