I like this coin. Its concave format was a brilliant idea from the US Mint.

The concave baseball glove to catch the convex baseball. So simple and so difficult to become a reality.

Interesting coin... this must be the first odd shaped coin made by the US Mint? It is a conservative mint, I am surprised that they veered away from what flat coin. Thanks for showing this coin, @ronaldoavelino. I have learned so much about commemorative coins since you started your coin series, my friend! What a great resource!

It was the first odd shaped coin made by the Mint. The $1 silver commemorative was also odd shaped. You are very welcome.

I was given this a few years ago, it was really cool to see how they put a curve in the coin! Never seen one like that before!
