<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2428341, member: 19463&quot;]I suppose there are coins that belong in jewelry more than others but I still prefer to see it limited to ones made long ago or using fakes since the people who put new victims under the prongs don&#039;t always know what they are doing or what the coin is.&nbsp; </p><p>For example the photo below shows a coin of Magnentius with Siscia mint mark and large Chi Rho reverse mounted as a necklace.&nbsp; The fool (aka: me) that did it did not realize then that it is the only one known and very few Siscia coins of any reverse exist for Magnentius.&nbsp; Of course he takes refuge in the fact that the coin is probably barbarous and the obverse is something like about Poor condition.&nbsp; My wife has worn it with some regularity in the last 15 years and it will continue to be in that ring for the near future.&nbsp; If my wife no longer wants it, I&#039;ll return it to the collection as ugly as it is and continue to hope I find another one just like it but with an obverse.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]504212[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
