I rec this in my silvertown grab bag. Its kinda neat but I can not find it on any site any where, Its kinda heavy also. I think it will make a good Valentines day gift for the wife. Magnet test just barely attracts will not pick even one up what do you think that would mean?
It appears the coins have been lacquered to prevent toning, which you find in coin jewelry sometimes. I think it's a cool piece - definitely a great Valentine's day gift.
I think..............well, its unimportant what I think about SilverTowns grab bag but what they sent you was coin jewelry which was quite common back in the "charm bracelet" days.
There was also a 1/2 lb bag of real nice foreign coins.lots of older ones in this batch.only 2 cents the 1lb I bought had a lot of newer junk and pennies in it. Also I got the little coins,a bill holder with a $1000.00 dollar bill.air freshener, magnifying glass, coin playing cards, money eraser,and a few other things that slip my mind right now. It was probably worth about $20.00 unless there is silver in the foreign coins? Oh well 2 packs of cigars in NY take almost that much money.
It would definitely be worth the time to go through the foreigns for silver and low mintages. Nearly every country made silver coins into the 20th century, with most switching to base metals between the 20's and 60's.
