Question about Harvey Keunn 1955 Armour Hot Dog Coin

[travistrue]

My aunt was cleaning out some "junk" and found this. Here is her description and pictures she sent me.

"I found this plastic coin going thru some "junk". I can't seem to find out much about this black one. "



I found different colored coins like this on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...nkw=Harvey+kuenn+armour+hot+dog+coin&_sacat=0

How rare is this black coin?

Thanks
Travis.

Here is what Beckett says about the set:

The front of each of the plastic baseball "coins" in this set contains a raised profile of a ballplayer. Each plastic coin measures approximately 1 1/2" in diameter. Although similar in design to the 1959 and 1960 issues by Armour, the 1955 set is distinguished by a number of details: the full team name under the profile, the listing of birthplace and date and batting and throwing preferences on the back and, of course, the 1954 batting or won-loss record located on the reverse. The coins are not numbered and come in colors of black, blue, blue-green, green, orange, red, yellow, tan and gold. Black, tan, and gold are the toughest color coins to find. Mantle and Kuenn exist in two variations each. These coins were inserted one per Armour Star Package of Hot Dogs. The set price below includes both variations.

And here is the listing for the Kuenn:

1955 Armour Coins #12A Harvey Kuenn/(reg.) - $15.00
1955 Armour Coins #12B Harvey Kuenn/(cond.) - $50.00

Hope this helps.
