[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8239293, member: 56859"]It's a very charming (pardon the pun) relic! I haven't seen a bail like that soldered to a coin before. I agree and generally don't mind if a coin is ex-jewelry or ever current-jewelry although I'd rather not see truly rare coins treated that way. Here's a drachm acquired at a coin show for an absolute steal of a price. The coin is in very good condition and the mounting is reasonably attractive. I wear it often :).

Philip III Arrhidaios[/B] struck circa 322-319/8 BCE, Sardes mint AR drachm in 14k bezel Obv: head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin Rev: Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; in left field, TI above bee Ref: Price P97; ADM I Series XIV [I]set in a 14k gold pendant bezel[/I][/QUOTE]
