    NOW- (Numismatists of Wisconsin)

Has encased a 1960D cent, (the Philadelphia 1960 cent also  known). It was issued for the 37th Annual Numismatists of Wisconsin Coin Show, hosted by Kenosha Coin Club. The piece was given to me by longtime friend Cliff Mishler.

"I am interested in hearing from other members who hold examples of these unique pieces different from what I have shown above. I am seeking to add to my collection as well if any are available. I also collect encased coins issued for Rotary Clubs. I can be contacted here.
