Anybody know for sure if the logo on this encased cent is from the department store, or is it something different?

    Never mind...it definitely is. I found this 1951 logo on their history website.

    Pretty cool. I have a penny from Penney's. I would bet their history museum would like to have something like this. Found it for a buck at the show a couple of weeks ago.

    I remember those being given out in the late 50s at the Penny's stores in the mid-west.

    I don't remember the occasion, but it was either Penny's aniversary date or some other occasion like the Friday after Thanksgiving.

    I used to have several, they were always bright red from my memory. Everyone who entered the store got one. I have no idea what ever happened to mine.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
    John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
