REEDED CENTS
In response to the question about reeded-edge cents made by
dealer Ira Reed, David Lange writes: "These coins were
reportedly given away or sold in matching sets of cent and
nickel, but I've never actually seen a reeded cent."Andy Lustig writes: "Yes, the coins were issued in two
piece sets, including a cent and nickel. I've handled three or
four of the sets, which are more commonly encountered
than individual cents or nickels.This information was confirmed by Tom DeLorey, P. Scott
Rubin, and Ken Bressett, who writes: "Yes, these were sold
as a set with both the nickel and cent. They were supposed
to be just a novelty, but were so well done that some people
thought they were an official issue.They were written up in Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine
in November 1953, page 1153. I don't have a copy of that
handy, so can not give more details, but I believe that the
material you have published is accurate and complete."- 2002-03-31
