1971 Replica of 1909 VDB Wheat Lincoln 1c Mort Reed United States Numistamps Series. #563. We recently aquire a large amount of these highly collectable Numistamp, all from the same collection bearing the serial number "563" engrave on the back of these token. The Numistamp series reproduced the United States coins on 2-1/4x1-3/8" plaques and looked like large metallic post stamps. It was created to commemorates every types and denominations in existence since 1978 and beyond such as the clad Kennedy Half-Dollars, Ike Dollars, Bicentennial types, cooper Half-Cent and through the Twenty-Dollar Gold Double Eagle. These were made with teh full knowledge and consent of the U.S Department of Treasury and designed by and minted for the late Mort Reed - an illustrator and columnist for Coin World for many years. Each obverse is faithfully reproduced in the likeness of the original coin with the reverse design and inscription arranged to suit the field of the stamp. No liberties have been taken in the process and nothing added or deleted to or from the original design.
