<p>[QUOTE=&quot;whstler, post: 1107546, member: 29346&quot;]That kind of thing is quite common here in Guadalajara, Mexico.&nbsp; Coins soldered into belts and bracelets.&nbsp; Sometimes gold coins are used, and sometimes silver coins.&nbsp; We were able to find (and purchase for spot price) two detached $2.50 US Gold Eagles.&nbsp; The seller offered to have the solder spots removed from the backs of the two coins, but we declined the offer.&nbsp; The way they do things sometimes here in Mexico is not always safe for a coin (not that solder is safe either, for that matter).&nbsp; They might use acid or a file or any number of things to remove a solder spot.&nbsp; We don&#039;t know what we&#039;ll do about the solder on the backs of the coins (any suggestions?), but we purchased them simply for the gold content.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
