What Is a George Washington Encapsulated Word?
George Washington encapsulated handwriting is a small piece of handwritten text that has been cut from a note, document or autograph letter signed. The fragment of text is usually preserved in an encapsulation slab, similar to coins or trading cards, and is authenticated by a third party such as Collectibles Authentication Guaranty (CAG). Handwriting fragments can be a more accessible way for collectors of presidential memorabilia or autographs to own a piece of history.
