<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MontCollector, post: 3169923, member: 85496&quot;]I won a guessing game and this was the prize I chose. [ATTACH=full]815228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]815231[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is called a Numistamp. These were designed and made for a Mr. Mort Reed. Some of you may recognize the name as he has written books about numismatics and was a former illustrator and columnist&nbsp; for Coin World Magazine in the late 60&#039;s into the 70&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the early 70&#039;s Mr.Reed came out with the Numistamp series of US Coins. These are pretty hefty at 51 grams but I believe they are made out of pewter and the front has a nickel plating. If I am wrong on this please correct me.</p><p><br /></p><p>At only 2 1/4&quot; x 1 3/4&quot; in diameter they make a fun addition to any collectors US type set collection. Not sure how many different varieties he made. The one above is the 1798 Flowing Hair Heraldic Eagle 10 cent variety I believe. One of over 50 different ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
