The pictures show a front and back view of this Numbered ©1971 Numistamp Metal Plaque 1959 Lincoln Memorial Cent. It features Abraham Lincoln on the obverse of a U.S. cent coin and the Lincoln Memorial as it appears on the reverse of the coin. The plaque was made to resemble a postage stamp with perforated edges. The back of the plaque is stamp numbered #003086. It is marked on the lower left side as follows:

© NUMISTAMP
FG
1971 MR (for Mort Reed)

The plaque measures 2-1/4'' x 1-3/8'' x 1/8''. It appears to be in mint condition except for some mounting tape on the back as pictured. Below here, for reference, is some additional information that was found:

''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 2-1/4'' x 1-3/8'' 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.
