Until I read that post about casino enclosed "lucky" cents, I didn't even know that those little critters existed. Since then I did some checking around and I found one in a local coin shop. That did it. I'm hooked.

I've now added collecting enclosed cents that are casino related, ones that have coin club events on them, and any that are commemorating some type of event. Where or where is this collecting phase going to end? I'm out of control. Help!

In the meantime, I have one duplicate that I'd like to trade if someone is interested. It's from the Horseshoe in LV and is dated 1962-D. It does show some wear but if someone needs it for their collection please send me an email. Maybe we can work out a deal of some kind. Note It is in much better shape than the scan depicts it.
