Message:: [QUOTE="Eire73, post: 1053900, member: 27047"]This is not the only one as I have seen these on e bay in the past. The better ones and I know that will strike a nerve here  are called enamelled coins. Again the "better ones" were done in the mid 1800's to early 1900"s . They may not be your cup of tea or coffee but do have alot of collectors both in the US and UK. Enamelled coins can be very costly...depending on the coin and how its been enamelled. coins that have multi colors of enamel bring more. Enamelled coins were made into pins, broaches and necklaces. I have also seen rings mostly made of 2.5 us gold pieces. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPERB-FLOWER-DESIGN-ENAMEL-ENAMELLED-COIN-HALF-CROWN-/130464213046?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item1e6045e836" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPERB-FLOWER-DESIGN-ENAMEL-ENAMELLED-COIN-HALF-CROWN-/130464213046?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item1e6045e836" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPERB-FLOWER-DESIGN-ENAMEL-ENAMELLED-COIN-HALF-CROWN-/130464213046?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item1e6045e836</a> Here is an example of a well done enamelled coin . A multi color half crown. The Morgan that started this thread would not be of any interest to the true enamelled coin collector. Sam[/QUOTE]
