Somewhere in my archives I have one of these also, don't remember the year. Will try to find it & post! Thanks for posting this one!
1876 - isn't that Centenary of Declaration of Independence ??? Which some "Indians" are commemorating !
Posted before but another encased cent from New York's Stork Club: Stork Club New York encased 1945 Lincoln cent Obverse and reverse: Figure of a stork (bird) with a top hat STORK CLUB / LUCKY PENNY
Bad printing by the person that put it in the holder ? The stork club was a famous night club. that was featured in alot of the old song and dance movies in the 30's and 40's
Well, some clubs are really dull & you never go back. But then there are those like the Stork Club, that have so many stories you always go back. That's a story club (although not all the stories can be told!)
That is fabulous - both sides! I'm guessing about the size of a dollar? Beautiful detail & subject matter!
Yes it is the size of a dollar. I was lucky to be able to take my family to see this when it was a Valley Forge, PA.
