<p>[QUOTE="Vince11229, post: 3230679, member: 98461"]How about a forum/thread for coins that have been made into jewelry? I am suggesting this as my wife and I recently purchased a bag of jewelry at a flea market that looked to have some interesting stuff. We found a Victorian love token pin that was made from an 1876 seated liberty quarter(There are initials where the eagle once was-I mourned a bit when I figured out what they did 140 years ago). Also we found a 1938 peso coin from the United States of Mexico that appears to have been gold plated. They look cool and I got a kick out of the first seated liberty I ever held. After a bit of research I discovered the love tokens are a big deal:</p><p><a href="https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/how-victorians-fell-in-love-with-pocket-change/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/how-victorians-fell-in-love-with-pocket-change/" rel="nofollow">https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/how-victorians-fell-in-love-with-pocket-change/</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]843543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]843544[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s the peso which was made into a pendant.
