1962 Salada Junket coins

[4reals]

1962 coins came in Salada tea or Junket pudding mix boxes and were made of plastic with paper inserts printed with the player's image. Many of the images have variations with the player's position or jersey colors which makes the set slightly more interesting to collect. The plastic color of the coins seems to have been assigned to specific teams.

I am a Dodgers collector, so naturally, I found that their coin color was blue, however, in my searching to put the team set together I have come across Dodgers players in other colors. Since the publications I have access to don't make a point to reference this I was hoping for some feedback in regards to this.

Were the colors of the coins different depending on the product they were packaged in? Or is this just a case of someone removing the paper insert and pasting it in a different coin?

Here are my Dodgers that aren’t blue (not including Charlie Neal and Gil Hodges who had red coins when they were printed with Mets uniforms)

By the way, I would be interested in purchasing a Koufax, Duke Snider, or Gil Hodges if anyone has an extra.
