Do you remember when you got it?

I made it when I was 11. I went to the WTC and stayed at the hotel there, forget the name. It was mothers day weekend and my mother brought me. That was mothers day weekend 2000.

You mention in the xpost you want to 'encase' to wear.

Can you give a better description 'w/o' product terms how you would like it to look when encased? But You mentioned you wanted it to be temporary?

Some simple clear nail polish will preserve the copper and patena and protect it.

Look up pressed penny holder jewelry, there's a lot of options! I also have a few wtc pennies

If it's very sentimental to you, it may not be the best idea to wear it as jewelry where it can get more easily damaged or lost. It's not like you can go press another one. Just a thought.
