IRA REED REEDED NICKELS?
Richard Crosby asks: "Can anyone point me to some
information on Buffalo nickels with a reeded edge? I
understand these were made outside of the mint by
someone named Ira Reed."A web search turned up a page at CoinFacts.com:
"For souvenirs at the 1941 American Numismatic
Association Convention, dealer Ira S. Reed offered
104 sets of 1937 Cent and Five Cents with specially
reeded edges (done outside the Mint). He sold the
two-coin sets for $4 each."The page pictures the obverse and reverse of the
coin, but alas, does not show the edge. Do any of
our E-Sylum readers have anything to add?http://www.coinfacts.com/Nickels/buffalo_nickels/1937_buffalo_nickel.htm
