[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 327409, member: 11753"]I saw on of those "coin rings" for sale online, one that just happened to have one of those large indian head gold dollars as it's centerpiece. Judging by the face, it was in sweet condition... AU for sure. I paid $160 for it and received it today. When I flipped the ring over to see about removing the coin, I notice a big bloody melt mark right in the center of the coin, obscuring part of the date... this was clearly done on purpose by some jeweller at some point. Now, I still came out with a good deal for the ring AS A RING, but I was really hoping to save the coin and it's a real shame to see such vandelism on a real beauty. I think the date is 1882, but I can't be sure... is this coin a complete write off? Do I just have a nice ring now? It might be hard to get some pics of the reverse but I'll see what I can do tomorrow. :([/QUOTE]
