<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2877127, member: 19463"]If you play your cards right, your home made envelopes might be more interesting than the coins they enclose. This one was made in 1920 (June 17 according to the top row on the back of the card insert) probably by a disabled veteran in a German hospital who was given therapy coins but needed cheap supplies (NFA's idea). His collection was sold by NFA long ago and Victor Failmezger bought a lot enabling him to piece together the cards and envelopes that contributed to the project. I got very few from Victor. This was one of my better coins from the group. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]688792[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a fine example of what comes when people don't notice they were in the Ancients section and give a modern answer. I do believe this is our first from the amusement tokens point of view. I do understand the desire to spend less on housing items that are not high priced (ancient or amusement).
