Strawberry leaf cent
Longacre

Here is a quote from NGC's weekly update newsletter. I have no real problems with slabs, but in the piece they speak of the historic significance of the strawberry leaf cent and its museum caliber status, and then the quote contains the word "encapsulate". To me (again, it have no issues with slabs), it seems like the coin is being "entombed", after having such a colorful past (i.e., anniversary present to the wife, husband gets killed in battle, coin sits in bank vault in original envelope for decades, etc.). Maybe I'm just in a nostalgic mood today...
"This is history in the making," said NGC Chairman and CEO Mark Salzberg. "It's just incredible that this extremely rare coin could have surfaced in such a casual manner after being unseen since the 1940s. I'm very pleased that John Pack and Dan Cunliffe placed their trust in NGC by allowing us to encapsulate this historic piece. This may be the only example that is ever certified, and it was a real thrill to examine it."
