So were there two different types of these made? Someone said something about one side being completely smooth, where as the ones I got my kids are two sided. I picked them up about a year ago for about a nickel a piece and my son would not let them out of his sight for months to follow. I think I ended up getting 4 or 5 all together and only got them so the kids would not leave empty handed that day.

I don't recall ever seeing a uniface. I have seen a couple different ones of the same denomination. They used to be sold by a dealer on the back page of Coin World, for 49˘. They're 3" (twice as big as the largest circulating coin) and zinc. Most of the ones I've seen are "true" to color: brown for 77 Ind, copper for 72s Lincoln, grey for nickels, silver for silver coins and gold for gold.

There are also miniatures, which are OK as long as they're at least half as small as a dime.

I have a Flying Eagle cent and a Standing Liberty quarter with both obverse and reverse, correctly colored. I'm sure I've seen ads recently for these in "Coinage".
