I found this interesting and found this: "French Ivory: A plastic produced to simulate ivory. It was first produced by the Xylonite Company in 1866. Other names include Celluloid, Ivoride, Ivorine, Ivorite and Pyralin" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "What is neat about these tokens is that each token has been individually labelled. Most catalog mention that the token is made in ivory but the reality is it's made out of ivorine - plastic that imitates ivory" Numerous "ivorine" pieces on ebay for a lot of $$$$... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-RARE-...311267069387 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keeling-Coc...069387&rt=nc Very interesting forsure!!

One of my wife's cousins is a huge Disney pin collector (I do have a few myself). She has way more pins than I have coins! It is true. Anyway, many of those pins are made to look like coins. In fact, a lot of the regular Disney pins look more like coins than the coins shown above.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 11:04 am Very nice Keeling Cocas set. Is it yours? It is a VERY tough set to assemble, the 25C being the easiest piece to find. I've always like the Keeling coins. I have two complete sets (1913 "ivory", 1968 plastic, 1977 metal and the most recent metal issues) and part of a third set. Report this Post to the Staff
cherrymcdowell New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 10:52 pm I can't imagine using these coins when you buy grocery or in the malls lol but I actually love them as a collection. These coins are unique and it's pretty enough to display in your room or in any part of your house. Report this Post to the Staff
