I collect encased pennies and other encased coins with a gambling theme. Casinos, Card Rooms, Bingo Games, Race Tracks, etc. I recently acquired three from Washington that are clearly from gambling establishments. None of these three joints are listed in The Gaming Table or in Steve Goodrich�s Washington chip guide.

All three are 1947 cents. While not exact the cent�s date in an encased piece does date the establishment or event somewhat.

BTW, if you have any encased coins from a Nevada Casino or please email me. I�ll pay a minimum of $25 for pieces I need.
