Micro novelty coins...

RoscoRosco Posts: 253 ✭✭✭✭

Doing some de-cluttering and I find these "Micro" coins, haven't a clue where they came from, just in a box of stuff.
Missing the SLQ I guess, anyone know the origins of these things, or have some like it ??.......1980's stuff ?
I was rather surprised at the fair representation achieved, of the real coinage.

Some real rarities check it out........



Longacre doubling and full LIBERTY

The Unique 1938 P two feathers.


Ultra rare 1914 D with a cud.


1942 WLH ddo.



No Motto UHR...She sure is grinning...and no wormy toolmarks.

    I am guessing "Aluminum" on these.

    Neat little things. Might pick out of a bargain bin. I like them except the double eagle.

    A company sold these a few at a time like a monthly purchase sort of thing. they came with papers. You could get a large box to store them in with little tweezers for handling.

    I bought a complete set from a customer a few years ago one of every us coin ever made. Pretty neat sets

    Thank you both for the input...
    I found an old thread stating Franklin Mint product.
    They are pretty neat really.
