1980 Prototype Coins
Not a test issue they never made it to production for test market. Here is the Presentation Board the only one so far, if I remember correctly there are only 12 coins known to exist

Thanks for showing those Old London's Adam. I always thought those were great looking, and I prefer the uniform, one-color background for all. Just a shame they did not make a larger set-- I've always been kind of biased against small sets that lack a good representation of the common player.

Personally I really like the coins. I don't really collect them as a set, but I do collect the coins w/Brooks pictured. I believe I have them all, but have relatively recently started to try to upgrade since most of the one's I had when I was young and aren't in the greatest shape.
I really like the look of the Old London coins, which Adam posted, the best. I just think they have a clean look about them.

I love the '64 Topps coins. I spent quite a bit of time a few years ago putting together a NM set. To me they are like the '71 Topps cards - you see so many that are rough, and when a really nice one shows up, it just stands out by comparison. Same way with the '64 coins. So many are tarnished or otherwise worn, but when a great one comes along it really shines.
I don't have the same passion for the '71 Topps coins so they're just resting comfortably in a box, not in holders. The comment about the Cardenas being tough made me curious. Out of about 200 coins I had three of Cardenas. One was really off center but the other two were OK. One man's rarity is another man's common.
