  NUMISMATICS AND TEDDY BEARS
  

  Alan V. Weinberg writes: "Regarding the late Milt Friedberg's
  collecting obsession with coins, currency, and Teddy Bears,
  Perhaps Milt didn't know of their existence but there are
  approximately 17 different highly detailed (bear fur and
  claws and all) Teddy Bear shaped encased cents produced
  from 1907-1910 with mint red Uncirculated Indian and Lincoln
  cents enclosed, advertising different merchants from the
  East Coast to Indiana.
  

  "I formed a collection of these which grew to eleven
  different pieces which I sold intact to a well-known
  Alton, IL collector a few years ago. They'd become too
  rare and too expensive for me to collect any further,
  due largely to eBay. Many are unique or near unique. The
  rarest pieces now sell for upwards of $1,500. I might
  have inadvertently started the craze myself when some 15+
  years earlier I started advertising in the Numismatic News
  and Coin World classifieds to pay $100 each for any Teddy
  Bear encased that I needed, thereby creating a
  'Frankenstein monster'.
