By the way, tokencatalog.com has a section on Encased Coins - please consider adding yours to their database.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25109 Posts	Posted 11/24/2023 2:53 pm Not a cent, but this seems like a good place to post it. 1887-O Morgan dollar encased by DX Showcase Stations in 1963, advertising DX Super Boron gasoline.

captainrich Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 11/28/2023 09:13 am The A&P Grocery Store chain (The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company) in Pennsylvania conducted some kind of promotion back in the early 1960's and issued these Encased Coins in Pittsburgh and Altoona, PA. The 45mm encasement is plastic and they are blank on the reverse. My 7070 My NGC Registry Sets: https://coins.www.collectors-societ...eopleID=9216 Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25109 Posts	Posted 11/28/2023 12:35 pm Those are very cool, Captainrich - rare to see encased silver! There was an A&P in our neighborhood when I was growing up in the '60s. "Ann Page" products were a staple of our diet.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 11/29/2023 6:26 pm While I enjoy looking at all the examples posted here, I don't collect Encased Coins. However, I was browsing through a box of my miscellaneous stuff and found these two I have which I'd forgotten about. I believe these were in a large lot of coins I bought from an elderly friend-of-the-family back in the 1990's. One is Gold Seal Milk lucky penny which appears to have a plated circulated 1946 cent which has lost a lot of the plating. The other is from Curry's Furniture in Bell, California with a 1948 cent.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25109 Posts	Posted 11/29/2023 6:51 pm Very nice, hokiefan! Like you, I don't necessarily collect Encased Cents but sometimes they are included in lots that I purchase. The Morgan and Buffalo posted above were acquired intentionally, however.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 11/29/2023 7:13 pm Thanks, Hondo. Your Morgan and Buffalo are great pickups! I think I would have had a hard time passing those up myself... Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
