[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 233918, member: 669"][img]http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif[/img] to CoinTalk Beau. To start off with, you're not [u]completely[/u] ignorant - after all you knew enough to find CoinTalk! ;) The bad news is that the soldering of links to those coins irretreivably damaged them [u]as collectible coins[/u] and to a coin collector each belt is worth considerably less than the aggregate value of its components if they had not been damaged. The (sort of) good news is that[list=1]None of the coins look like they were of particularly great value before they were belted, and[*]There are people who collect "coin jewelry" and others who collect British Empire memorabilia, and if the owner wants to sell them, the folks who might want them are probably looking at EBay auctions this very minute.[/list] If I get a chance, I'll look the coins up in the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and report back if any of them turn out to have an undamaged value north of five bucks or so.[/QUOTE]
