Indian Head cents were packaged into specially marked boxes of Dexol bleach in January and February 1965, and again in September and October 1966. Two distinct types of packages were used.
This type of package was used in 1965. The cent was adhered to the card and placed in 1 3/4 x 2 3/4 inch plain white envelope before it was packaged in the box of bleach. Enlarged to show detail. Actual size is 1 3/4 X 2 3/8 inches. Courtesy of Ed Bishop.
Cents were packaged in 2 1/2 X 4 3/4 inch coin envelopes in 1966
