Laughlin 1st Day Covers and Wooden Nickels Are Available

As promised, I've uploaded photos of the special First Day Covers and the Wooden Nickels especially made for our upcoming Banquet at the Colorado Belle in Laughlin, NV on the 13th and 14th of April.

I decided to made three different designs for the First Day Covers. They will be limited to 25 of each design, no more. This way, they will become a collector's item, and have a chance to appreciate in value over time. They are offered on a first come, first served basis.

Each design will be numbered 1/25, 2/25, up to 25/25. The lower numbers historically have a chance to go up in value more than the higher numbers. The lowest numbers will go to those who order first.

Here's the pricing:

Wooden Nickel


Wooden Nickels are 25 cents each, plus an SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope), or 5 for a $1.00, plus an SASE. There is a mintage of 550 wooden nickels.


First Day Covers are $3.95 each (your choice of Design #1, #2, or #3), plus $1.00 s&h, or a set of all three for $10.00, plus $3.50 s&h. The s&h cost for the set includes insured shipping. If you prefer Priority Mail, add $4.05 to your order. Insured shipping is $1.35 extra.

I'm going to offer these sets over the Internet to several sites I have either a group on or that has interest in wooden nickels and first day covers. This will also be followed up with an article to the weekly numismatic publications of "Coin World" and "Numismatic News".

Money Orders will get next day service. I'll hold your items for about 5 to 7 days for your check to clear, if you prefer to pay that way. Don't get left out. The First Day Covers are likely to sell out quickly!
