THIS IS ONE OF A KIND1959 Armour coin of Mickey Vernon in very dark yellow. Correct common version in pale yellow. Note the team is Senators on the dark coin and the back shows a space for pitching stats that are blank. The correct coin shows his team as Indianshis batting average as is correct since he was an infielder not a pitcher. The coin is believed to be a prototype developed to sell Armour on the idea of renewing the baseball coin giveaway, dormant since 1955. It should also be noted that dark yellow color has never been seen for any other 1959s NOR HAVE ANY OTHER PROTOTYPES EVER BEEN IDENTIFIED.
