    It is actually plastic. This is for a 1986 Kennedy half dollar. The date is there but was difficult to photograph. It's cool because the designs are raised as they are on the coin itself.

    A very neat coin-related item!

    Oops. Sorry.

    It covered the top of a new die to prevent it from being damaged.

    Online auction. Sold for $12. Figured it would have gone so much higher
