[QUOTE="William F, post: 7492411, member: 117696"]Recently picked up my first Numistamp, it's a 1793 large cent wreath design made in 1978. About 2" across & 1" tall, the base metal is brass and it is plated with copper. I just recently learned about these and I think they are really neat! There is one of every type of coin minted by the US from 1793 - 1980. Designer Mort Reed started the series with the idea in mind that it was nearly impossible to obtain a comprehensive collection of all types of US coins and these Numistamps would provide an interesting/fairly inexpensive way to obtain these designs for their collections, they didn't really take off the way he wanted but they are still really cool in my opinion. Post your numistamps! :)[ATTACH=full]1295512[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1295513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1295516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1295515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1295517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1295514[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
