Anyone familiar with this album? It has BU cents from 1959 through 1984 plus two aluminum tokens, one struck like a mirror proof and one uncirculated. It popped up randomly in one of my searches, and at less than $20 shipped it was too interesting not to pick up.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I think I have one of those somewhere. They were given as a freebie when on subscribed to NN for a 3 year time period if I recall. I wonder how many of the medals were minted.
Other promos by NN included free Silver Eagles, and also a silver medal or two. they had some pretty neat incentives!
Neat item, I'm surprised they aren't toned more.
Cool presentation with the medals included.

Nice find.
I remember getting those on occasion with collection purchases back in the late 80's-90's. No one paid much attention to them then. They look better today......
Cool item 👍
I have the medals and have seen the folders.
Like most of the Numis News offerings the coins are of excellent quality and include a few Gems. Their 1982 mint sets are one of very very few sources for Gem philly quarters of that date. A lot of their promotions were very generous. The paper was so inexpensive it's a wonder they could even issue the medals for a "profit".
Numismatic News had many very interesting sales promotion items during that era. That set is one example. Their sales promotion items and medals/tokens were very well made.
