What is the correct coin,rest and strike plate for a 59 Polar.

 Thanks Terry

My 59' catalog shows a feather rest without a strike plate

Thanks 450 do you know if it had a copper coin.

I think it could have had copper, nickel or aluminum.  All correct for that period.

Reading another post Doc said that 59 polar had brass coin.This shows no signs of a leather grip so I take it that they didn't have one.The Polar is 64"-45#.can anyone tell what woods are in the side slabs and ibeam.

 Thanks Terry

Ahhh the under-loved '59 polar.  That is just gorgeous!

Here is my coin if it helps, obviously my riser isn't in as good a shape as yours!:

 

And here is the rest side, as it arrived, which I believe to be original condition, no plate:

I've yet to see a '59 Polar with the copper coin.
Love my '59 Polar  :D

 

Except for the strike plate, all original and mint.  :D

I've never seen a 59 Bear bow with a brass coin either.  I'd think copper would at least be a possibility since there were copper coins around at the time.
