Coin Details

Description

This undated silvered copper token was issued by U.S. Coins & Jewelry for Coin Week, an annual celebration of numismatics organized by the American Numismatic Association. Coin Week tokens and medals are produced by coin dealers, numismatic organizations, and the ANA itself as commemorative pieces celebrating the hobby of coin collecting. U.S. Coins & Jewelry was a numismatic dealer that used this token as both a promotional item and a collectible souvenir for Coin Week participants. The silvered copper composition gives the token an attractive bright finish. Coin Week, typically held in April, has been celebrated since the 1920s and represents the numismatic community's annual outreach effort to promote coin collecting to the general public. Tokens from specific Coin Week celebrations document the history of the hobby's promotional activities.
