I actually can finally be of some help here on CCF with this topic.
I was a member of that club. I have three. I think that's all they ever made unless they made some new ones after 1980 or so.
These I think were made in 1967 1968 and 1969. At the time I got these as a gift from the club, these were a complete set. To have the same numbered edges was kind of special.
The Metal Arts Co Roch. N. Y. is lettered on the edge and mine were a set numbered 210.
I don't know if they had 250 sets made or the first 250 were lettered edges or even 500?
I think that I remember being told there were 250 lettered every year.
There were more made but have a plain edge.
I thought it was neat that the First House in Tamaqua reverse was off of Greenwood St in the backyard of my friends house. When we were kids, we would roam everyone's yards playing "Army".
I only lived a stones throw away, well maybe three stone throws.
Wish I had a coin finder back then instead of playing Army huh?
The coal breaker was an actual rendition of one of several around this hard coal mining town.
The first one was a more generic reverse.
The Indian was chosen because the it is named after Chief Tahkamochk, or Tam-a-kwah ( The Tuscarora king of the Turkey Clan )
