<p>[QUOTE="Dillan, post: 3173829, member: 90539"]Lots of the coins you see in jewelry are a low grade coin . The maker or artist would more likely make more money by adding a necklace or bending the coin into a ring . I personally do not like coin jewelry . The seller's profit margin is likely much better then the 1 or 2 dollars they may get for the coin. I doubt places like v coins would sell something like the one you showed. I think when there are millions of certain types of coins who cares if some get turned into something different. It open the hobby for someone to collect something different or unique. Each item would be different in its own way. Coin jewelry has been around for hundreds of years , and will probably be here for a long time . I really despise when someone takes a beautiful semi key or key coin and drills it , or bends it into a ring. I imagine that some of the Chinese fakes would be suitable for that kind of use because they are not worth squat otherwise. What others choose to do is their choice , but I like the coins as coins not something hanging around somebodies neck or on their finger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
