    I bought this the other day, has the Patd Nov 22, 1904 date on the reverse! Just another pushed out coin pendant. :cigar: What do you think, gold plated, the real deal or somewhere in between? No 'k' stamp on it at all! :D It's been a long time since I've done a poll, so I hope it works! ;) Anyone?

    It has 1904 date on reverse, but the coin is 1907? What was the source of this purchase?

    jk on the spray paint, fret. It's most likely 10k plate or gold wash. Hard to tell by looking at a photo.

    It looks gold plated to me. We have a couple of experts on these but I don't see them here very often. @saltysam-1 Can't remember the other ones user name. He was really good with these.

    You got this one on Ebay for $189.00 it's a Barber dime. Cant see the sides to see if it was cast.
    Best case you got 3.3 grams of cast 14k gold or a gold plated Barber dime

    You're only partially right! :D I will reveal how it tested after 7 days from when I started the poll. I will tell you that I made a mistake on my poll but it worked out better than I thought, that's all I can say. :D

    Ok, since nobody gives a shizzle, I will answer what I want to! :D I won't get into the price but it weighs 3.3 grams and as it turns out it's better than I thought at 16k gold, solid gold. Not a lot of money, but definitely a rare and desirable piece! :cigar: Someone took the time to sand and wax, I forget the correct terminology but my guess is this was casted years ago, maybe even overseas, who knows! :D

    My point is it's rare and you don't see real ones like this around much. It's a gold pendant, it's a gold pushed out coin looking pendant. :D Price is never an issue when I see something I like, fortunately I never spend more than a couple hundred.

    It's not a real pop out coin you can get cast copys made not rare at all. Just go to Ebay and buy a pop out dime they sell for $20- $30 or less and have a mold made and make as many you want

    I know about the cheaper ones and I own a couple of those as well, here's a couple of pics of my cheaper ones. :D If I wanted to make myself a solid gold one, I could have saved a lot of money but that's not what I do, I collect. In short, I think they're rare and if I'm wrong, please show me the link or the pic. Part of the reason I'm on here is to learn anyways. :D

    You answered your own question. You could have made the gold one yourself at any time. They are not rare because of that. It's a charm, it is not a coin. Here are a few pictures of some of the ones I own. I have been collecting them for years.

    I did not know that any of these were cast. I thought they were all made with a punch and die with a real coin as the host. Not sure there is a way to put a date on something like this. They are still being made today.
    I'm not ready to call it rare without an experts opinion. I'll try and tag a guy that can help.

    This was posted by @saltysam-1 in an older thread.
    There are only two patents issued for theses. One by George Keppler the other by William Malliet. The pop-ups which carry the most value have patent bars inside them. One patent was issued in 1903 the other in 1904. Most of the collector value lies in coins from this era. Only one person has ever wrote about them in book form, he is Robert J. Stump. He was the only person who tracked sales and attached their retail values. It is also the only known price book in existence that has merit. There are about 100 printed. I do have a copy, and Oded Paz distributed them until they are now all gone. I obtained mine prior to finding out Oded was involved in the market. There was a blog that discussed them and he and Robert Stump were the driving force. After Robert died in 2011, Oded acquired the last copies from his estate. The blog closed down with Roberts' passing. The Repousse market primarily was in Chicago with the key jeweler being Kalo Jewelry. These are the premium pieces most sought after. Many of the coins used were from the late 1800's through the early 1900's. Also look for that patent bar to assure authenticity.
