| | | The pictures below show a larger view of the (2) 1970s United States Coin Numistamp Collection Vinyl Binder Album Covers in this lot. These two padded vinyl binders will hold the special thick pages of the entire Numistamp coin collection. These have an eagle holding a banner that reads: UNITED STATES NUMISTAMPS The binding edges also read the same. The Numistamp binders each measure about 10-3/4'' x 12'' x 2-1/4''. They appear to be in excellent condition as pictured. Below here, for reference, is some additional information about Numistamps: ''Numistamp'' plaques were made for all coin types from half cents through gold! Includes all denominations/types in existence through 1978, such as the clad Kennedy half dollars, Ike dollars and Bicentennial types. These were designed by and minted for the late Mort Reed. Mort was a world renowned illustrator and columnist for Coin World for many years and wrote several books including the highly acclaimed Odd And Curious. For those who were not around during the 1960s - 1970s when Reed was most active, his work in Coin World was often similar to Ripley's Believe It Or Not, the popular syndicated series seen in the national media. In the 1970s he created the Numistamp series of United States coins reproduced on 2-1/4x1-3/8" plaques that looked like large medallic stamps. The composition of those plaques reflected the coins they bore so that Large cents were produced in copper while the nickel issues were stuck in nickel or a nickel like material, (the War nickels in silver like material), etc. These plaques are rarely seen today and represent a beautiful addition to anybody's collection who enjoys older numismatic memorabilia or anything related to the series they collect. |
