IRA REED REEDED NICKELS?

  Richard Crosby asks: "Can anyone point me to some
  information on Buffalo nickels with a reeded edge?  I
  understand these were made outside of the mint by
  someone named Ira Reed."

  A web search turned up a page at CoinFacts.com:
  "For souvenirs at the 1941 American Numismatic
  Association Convention, dealer Ira S. Reed offered
  104 sets of 1937 Cent and Five Cents with specially
  reeded edges (done outside the Mint).  He sold the
  two-coin sets for $4 each."

  The page pictures the obverse and reverse of the
  coin, but alas, does not show the edge.   Do any of
  our E-Sylum readers have anything to add?
