ramjethero Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 1:16 pm Have seen questions about the rims of coins that had been encased for jewelry or such. Here is a 1942 LWC that is still encased. Looks like someone tried to get it out of the holder but were unable to. Found this in the Lot of wheats I purchased. Report this Post to the Staff
