This is not chip related, but may interest a few. This is a Teddy Bear Encased Cent. There are maybe two dozen or so different examples known. These pop up on a few times a year. Should be interesting to watch. I'll bet it goes for around $800. Not my auction.

I passed on an encased shaped like a shirt a few years ago at a flea market. It advertised a laundry, of course. I passed because the seller wanted $60 and wouldn't budge on the price. $2000+, even in today's market.
