I have gotten into encased coins in a big way and have not found very much information on them anywhere. I am a member of ECI but wanted more so I bought the domain name encasedcoins.info and have put up a basic site with some pictures of encased coins. I am working on additional pages with more information and more images. I am looking for more information on encased coins. I have Bryan Ryker's book on Earl Fankhauser, but I am wondering if there is more out there on encased coins?

Well, the June 1988 TAMS Journal has an article by Michael L. Kolman on the subject, and I'm sure there are other articles in that and other numismatic publications such as the PATCO Journal. But other than the Fankhauser book (a TAMS Journal special issue), I'm not aware of any full length catalogs. -Editor
