<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dnas, post: 7651343, member: 93707&quot;]Ok, so my GF was sorting through some of her jewellery, and I spotted something interesting. I live in Japan and she lives in Texas, but years ago, she taught English at a Japanese private school for 2 years. Her parents visited at one stage, and they were given a &quot;pendant&quot; as a present.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the pendant:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1315510[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1315511[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a coin in the pendant. Although it looks attached, it&#039;s actually clipped in, so the coin could be removed.</p><p>It&#039;s a Showa year 61 (1986) gold coin, face value of 100,000 yen (about $915 USD).</p><p>It&#039;s 20g, 99.9% gold coin. Current melt value is over $1200, and market value seems to be around $2000+ . (not including the pendant mount and chain)<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s been kicking around in her stash for about 20 years!!!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
