Here is an encased coin that is rarely seen and I have never seen before.  It is an 1851 copper large cent surrounded by an aluminum casing.  Overall it measures about 40mm. On the obv is written: Berkshire Life Insurance Co. Inc. 1851 – 1851- Pittsfield, Mass.-1936; and on the reverse: Eighty-five years of security and service to policyholders.  We grade the coin an XF to an AU and it shows good surfaces and detail.  The casing is probably AU.  What a unique collector's item for many different collections.   Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
