<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3076603, member: 10461&quot;]Ancient Greek, not Roman, though these coins <i>were</i> struck in Italy (in what was a Greek colony at the time).</p><p><br /></p><p>That looks like an older setting, perhaps 19th century (Victorian) or even 18th century (Georgian).&nbsp; I&#039;m not fully versed in such things, so take that assessment with the proverbial grain of salt, but it&#039;s a neat piece of vintage jewelry.&nbsp; The lack of a hallmark also indicates it&#039;s pretty old, I would imagine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d leave the coin in it.&nbsp; Genuine coin or not, I think the whole thing is worth more together as jewelry than separately, if the coin were removed (note [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&#039;s comment).&nbsp; You&#039;d just end up with an ex-jewelry (&quot;problem&quot;) coin and some scrap gold if it was disassembled (not that you necessarily were planning on that).</p><p><br /></p><p>Worth more as an intact piece of antique jewelry, I&#039;d say, especially if the pinback is repaired.&nbsp; Besides, it&#039;s a family heirloom.&nbsp; It&#039;s a really neat piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
