<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 1776593, member: 56869&quot;]Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think the bracelet was cobbled together well after the period when Hoff had his store. The other coins on it are as follows: an 1853 $1 gold piece in nice shape, an 1882-S $5 gold piece, a 1914 Indian Head quarter eagle, a 1903 British half sovereign, and an 1856 French 10 franc piece. The Indian Head quarter eagle would have to be too new to have been used by Hoff.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I checked out previous sales of countermarked coins on eBay and Heritage. On Heritage, the prices the coins sold for seemed appropriate for damaged gold pieces. In other words, there didn&#039;t seem to be much premium for rarity. Can you suggest any other venues?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Again, thanks.</p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
