Whatever happened to Roy Orbison's 100 Corona pendant??

Got to see a guy perform as a Roy Orbison cover at the Italian American Club of Las Vegas this evening. He was their featured guest at the monthly membership meeting, guy named Bucky Heard. He's far more recognized for his lead in The Rightous Brothers legacy band on the Strip. But his Orbison effort wasn't bad, he hit the hight notes without squealing like a little girl.

When I got home, just had to indulge a bit more in something closer to the real thing. This, from (1975)...



Check-out the 1915 Austrian 100 Corona necklace pendant Orbison is wearing. Tried searching on the internet using AI to determine whatever happened to it without any luck. Might still be owned by heirs. With gold over $5,000 - do you suppose it retains any premium?

Definitely, but provenance would have to be shown to get the big money out of it! Good luck if you're into finding it!

 

What is required to get PSA to declare it a concert worn coi

What is required to get PSA to declare it a "concert worn coin" --much like they do game worn jerseys? Call me a skeptic, but I find it hard to believe some of the game worn claims that are attached to sports collectibles. "Our experts have determined these are the shoelaces Don Larsen wore when he pitched his World Series perfect game". Does anyone really believe all of the photo match nonsense? I know I don't. It's as if having all the other provenance information supporting authenticity is enough to get an authenticator to claim indisputably that it's the real enchilada after inspecting photographs from 100 years ago. Or in the case of Orbison's 100 Corona, from 51 years ago. "Look!! It has luster!! It must be the same coin!!"

 

I still have my 1915 100 Corona restrike I got as a Christmas present when I was 8
Its GEM MS for sure, even though a restrike, its a dandy looking coin. I never got an original one, also have the Hungarian one. Do have original 1923 AV 100 Kronen.

 

My guess is there's many ways to get a certificate of authenticity on it, personally I've never had experience with it but the link below talks about it some.
