Post Your Encased Coins - Lucky Pennies And Other Examples!

Latest for my 50 state collection from Rhode Island.

From Google:

"The National Ring Traveler Company was a major U.S. manufacturer of textile machinery components. Based primarily in Providence and Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the firm produced "ring travelers"—small, precise metal clips used in ring spinning to twist, guide, and wind yarn onto bobbins."

I have always assumed that Encased Cents were cheap giveaways to customers but while researching this google AI produced this statement

"A high-quality souvenir like an encased Indian Head cent was expensive to make in 1905. The National Ring Traveler Co. did not hand these out to ordinary factory workers. These were premium promotional items handed directly to wealthy mill owners, purchasing agents, and textile engineers to secure massive corporate supply contracts for spinning machinery parts."

I'm not sure this is accurate but it's interesting to contemplate.

Very interesting, dar76124!
