1997 wasn’t the first year for Pinnacle Mint football, but I remember this set better than the others. Each pack contained 1 die cut, 2 coins made of brass, nickel-silver, solid silver or solid gold plate, and 2 foil cards. Many of the cards in the set feature an empty hole where you can place the coin. I purchased a lot of these packs when I began collecting, and still have a bunch to this day. Shaking a box of this stuff sounded like a treasure chest.
If the economy keeps going the way it is, we all might be forced to used these coins as currency.
