| Armour issued
24 plastic coins in 1955 that were inserted into packages of hot
dogs. The coins measure 1 1/2" in diameter, were issued in
various colors, and in different shades. Red, Yellow, blue, green,
Orange, and Aqua. The front of the coins feature a raised profile of
the ballplayer, player’s name and team. On the back, centered
between a baseball diamond, and crossed bats are name, team,
position, birthplace and date, batting, throwing preference, and
1954 hitting or pitching record. Each 1955 Armour coin can be found
in two different "bust tilts" in which the tip of the cap
and back point of the bust point to distinctly different areas of
the rim. The checklist above has been arranged in alphabetical order
for the unnumbered coins.
