Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 08/22/2016 11:30 pm Anyone knowledgeable about these? I picked one up at a yard sale a couple weeks ago for $3. It has a 1971 Kennedy, 1965 Washington, 1963D Jefferson nickel ,1969 Lincoln Penny and a 1967 Roosevelt. I don't know which company made mine or what year. I'll try to get some pictures of it but I can't get any cose ups the Lucite seems to defeat any attempt at a photographic closeup. Report this Post to the Staff
