The pictures show a front and back view of this Numbered ©1974 Numistamp Metal Plaque 1965 Roosevelt Dime. It features Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the obverse of a U.S. dime coin and the torch and branch design 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 engraved numbered #3086. It is marked on the lower left side as follows:

NUMISTAMP
© MORT REED 1974

The plaque measures 2-1/4'' x 1-3/8'' x 1/8''. It appears to be in excellent to near mint condition with a scuff mark on the flame of the torch and a few light scratches 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 2-1/4x1-3/8" 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.
