Editor's Message

Welcome to the first Journal/Newsletter of the Associated Collectors of Encased (ACE). Volume 1, Number 1, August, 1995. We are hoping this is the start of something good.

The exunomia field of encased coins has been neglected and its time it comes of age and gets respect. There are a large number of collectors and there are an enormous amount of encase coins just waiting to be identified, studied and appreciated. Many encased are rare and many are under priced.

We all appreciate an Unc. Encased Indian Cent, the many odd shaped cleverly done encasements and the many catchy slogans and vast variety of business and clubs represented. It s important that some order and direction is given to this collecting field. Hopefully ACE and its organization can bring collectors together and serve as a central source not only for information but for buying, selling and trading.
