John Samuel Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 This coin was given to my daughter by a family member some years ago. A lovely piece of jewellery. But in numismatic terms, Forum member Rob has advised I "might be rapidly approaching melt". But I post it in the hope people find it of interest. Quote
Rob Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 At least the grade isn't too bad. i.e. it makes it a presentable piece of jewellery. I thought from the way you were describing it the mount had been removed to leave an unsightly blob as with the crown. Quote
Garrett Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 It's interesting to me to think that so many coins have been converted to jewellery in the past.I can't recall ever seeing anyone wearing a coin. Quote
Paulus Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 It's interesting to me to think that so many coins have been converted to jewellery in the past.I can't recall ever seeing anyone wearing a coin. Except perhaps for one of those horrible (IMO) sovereign rings! 1 Quote
Coinery Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I wear an Elizabeth 6d on a leather chain! Quote
Mr T Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Besides sovereign rings/necklaces I've only seen someone wear a gold-painted sixpence necklace.Too bad about the damage done by attaching the loop as the detail on Britannia at least looks decent enough. Quote
