Looking For: Aluminum/Cupo-Nickel In Acylic

I don't have one - to me it seems almost sacrilege to spoil a coin in that way.

However, they're very common here, French francs, and 20 centimes, as well as lots of British and American coins and medallions (Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee and the occasional 'war medal') all embedded in plastic blocks. With the exception of the war medal which would be silver if genuine and coins purporting to be gold sovereigns or gold half-sovereigns, I think all the embedded coins I have seen were genuine.

They're very common at car boot sales in Britain and in fleamarkets in Germany (though, in Germany, never with German coins).

I found a medal embedded in a plastic block, but couldn't tell the composition. After close examination, I determined that it was aluminum due to coloring, corrosion, and more than anything the number of nicks that it suffered even when in MS condition right before being embedded by the manufacture.

Thanks for the input guys!
