MORE ON SHAPES OF COINS, TOKENS AND MEDALSDick Johnson's article on coin shapes inspired these reader responses.
-Editor
Mandorla
This should be "mandorla". Rounded Trapezoid
I think Dick forgot to include the rounded trapezoidal shape of the Jewish-American Hall of Fame medals. Sample is attached. He should know, because he was at Medallic Art Company when they made the first medals in this series beginning in 1969. Mel's correct. It should have been included. I'm certain there will be other shapes overlooked in my list. The thing about publishing in The E-Sylum, it brings out responses from knowledgeable numismatists. Have I overlooked any others? Free-form Stellate Pisciform
  Byron Weston writes: I thought readers might like to see a Free-form Stellate Pisciform I recently purchased on line. I passed Byron's images to Dick Johnson, and his thoughts appear in the next
article. Thanks! -Editor
