Hi ,I recently found this coin and was wondering if it being in a casing reduces it's value really need some help here as i wish to sell thanks any comments welcomed
Coins that were formerly jewelry generally lose much or all their numismatic value unless they do not display any signs that they are former jewelry. How is the bezel secured on your coin? Does it screw together or is it soldered? (Screwed together means little to no damage to the coin. Soldered could mean damage to the coin.) Has your coin been polished? (Very bad if it has.) Does your coin show wear or marks from being used as jewelry? Your coin is a common date and mintmark. If your coin cannot be safely removed from the bezel, has been polished, or retains any indications that it is a former jewelry piece it likely worth its gold content. Otherwise it may have some numismatic value which would be dependent on its condition (which is hard to determine from your photos).
i only just found it and took the photo at night so not a great pic there doesn't appear to be any real wear on it a few very minor scratches and the casing actually can move i don't see any weld marks on the casing this was in stored in someones estate in plastic with other gold pieces i have no idea if it has been polished i can upload more photos tomorrow during daylight if that will help , thanks for your time
