Call it what you'd like but it's a nice coin anyway. Bruce
I found the image of the die and the associated wooden nickel (Crescent City CC). The die looks to be lead but I can't be sure. Bruce[ATTACH]
I like these "go-alongs", dwhiz. I have a die used to print wooden nickels for a coin club and an example of the finished product. I'll find an...
No doubt they're damaged to some extent. I'd also contact Heritage. They might surprise you and do something about it but likely they'll just give...

A great group of tokens and coins, dwhiz. Especially like the NE counterstamp on the quarter. I've seen a few of these but don't own one. Bruce
That's a lot of coin to put out for a stocking stuffer, but I'd guess that your mom has one tucked away for him. Traditions are hard to break...
Now that's a pedigree worth far more than money. Congratulations on getting that special coin. Bruce
YIKES! :eek: Bruce
