Hey Chad coins! If you are going to use it in a project, I would be happy to find you another and figure out a trade. They are not hard to find. I am probably over 300 Encased Coins and while I have never tried to collect them by Zoell varieties, it would be a fun addition. I still have your email I think..... |

I had a Massey Ag dealer who just built a new shop and they got ahold of me and bought it on the spot. They were looking for this kind of memorabilia and want it in there show case as a museum piece for all to share this history. It sure found a good home! Yes I was aware of this Encased Coin and I did view the encased web site and very impressed with it. Smallcent your collection must be breath taking!! |

Looks like 8! I only care if they have a Canadian coin or Canada in the legend. There are 13 in the catalogue at this point that meet that test.  Edited by Smallcentguy

"Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more

Love the Hutchinson one. Farthings are decently scarce all around. There are one or two Canadian issuers with farthings. Forsyth for sure. Semi Ready Clothing suspected but no one has found out who the issuer was yet. https://aboutfarthings.co.uk/catalo...d-farthings/ |

I look at a lot of Encased Coin listings and I have never seen this one before. There are Canadian issuers with Indian Head cents as well. There are not too many though. I suspect that they were made in the United States. That New Zealand merchant went to a lot of trouble to get these made! Encased Cents were first created in 1901 for the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. They proved to be very popular and there are many versions of 1901 Encased Cents relating to the exposition. Encased Coins with earlier dates were made after 1901 using old coins. Or someone has put an older coin in after-the-fact. Canada still had large cents at the time. So from 1901 until 1920 a Canadian issuer has to find a supplier who could make rings for large cents or had to use Indian Head cents. Maybe I should start a topic for Encased Cents! |

Now I see how you can get hooked on these Encased Coins. Very neat advertising and classy. |
