1919-s Brown Shoe Co. Lucky Lincoln 1c Lincoln Cent 1c Grades vf++. “Encased” coins or “Lucky Pennies” are coins that have been inserted into a holder that changes the character of the coin from money to an advertising or souvenir device. The concept was really popularized at the Pan American Exposition in 1901 and was used extensively throughout the the 20th century for advertising. Their popular slogans such as "Keep Me And Never Go Broke" and "Keep Me And You Will Have Good Luck" led to their association with financial success or luck in general for their holders.
