CHRISTMAS TREE COIN HOLDER HOARD FOUND
In the Fall 2014 issue of his Coin Board News newsletter, David Lange reports finding a small hoard of a rare and interesting item of numismatic ephemera. They're for sale, so get yours before the holidays.

One of the great rarities cataloged and illustrated in my book on National Coin Albums is the coin Christmas Tree published by The Beistle Company, manufacturer of all Wayte Raymond coin albums and holders. This was issued for Christmas 1957 on the 30th anniversary of M. L. Beistle’s Unique Coin Holder, the precursor of what became The National Coin Album. When preparing my book I’d seen only the worn example in my own collection, which I purchased with the original coins still in place, and one other held by a fellow collector. Recently, however, I was able to purchase a small hoard of unused examples in Near Mint condition. These, of course, are coinless, but I’m able to offer them through this newsletter while they last at the bargain price of $25 postpaid. Please see the photos accompanying this newsletter.
