Has anyone ever seen the Coins of the World map folder by the fraudulent company American Historic Society?

I just received this today from my father after telling him that I just started coin collecting again a couple of weeks ago. After getting home, I looked it up and couldn't find the exact product but I did find other stuff by this company along with a lot of complaints.

Here is a view of the entire map spread out.

Here is a closeup of some of the coins. As you can see some are not set in the slots properly. I think that perhaps they were inserted by a machine. Also, most of the coins are glued in there. Some of them were falling out according to my father.

Here is part of the reference book that came with the map.

This is the same certificate that I saw ebay auctions for other American Historic Society products have. And I believe linking them to their new but different website.

Last but not least...

This is the old defunct website they had before they got closed down. Only to reopen again later with the same company name and a different website. I read up about this company selling fake and overpriced coins. Also that this company was sending out stuff minus the coins and other valid complaints.

I called my father up and told him all about the company and with several warnings about not buying from television rip off ads. He told me that he purchased this set about 10 years ago and he didn't pay much for it.

I'm also wondering if anyone else ever saw this folder of world coins before. I couldn't even find a match for it anywhere, for the product.
