Osborne coin in Cincinnati used either coins from a current stock or coins specified by the customer. They also used coins supplied by the customer. This information is reflected in the work orders which Bryan Ryker collected. These work orders cover approximately 1946 until late in the 1960s. As an example they made 1000 encased coins for BOBCO Coins. 500 were made with Panama centesimos and the other 500 with 1963 D cents.
