that's a wonderful coin....why someone would drill it.......??

 

I think people used to wear them or have coins on there keys, some coins have been made into broaches. Its not uncommon to find coins with holes in them.

 

Ya...fer shitty coins.........but yours is really nice !!!!!!

 

It was someone's lucky piece on their watch fob. Had to drill it. At the time it was probably a new coin.

 

Its doesn't say anything on the edge, I only paid a few quid for the coin I suspect it maybe an old re-strike, what would be the diameter measurements of this coin?

 

Thanks for the info, I had my doubts when I bought the coin and 3 pounds is nothing so I'd probably faint if it was the real deal. It makes a nice gap filler in my collection.

 

Found this lying on the sidewalk. The bale was crushed and one of the plastic stones was split. But it is marked Sterling.

 

the sidewalk you say ??
OK !
it looks like honest SW native american...
i don't see any plastic stones..........

 

I just guessed they were plastic. I was walking to a grocery store and there it was. If you think it's real, then I can get it repaired.

 

i didn't search the mark...but ya...i think it's too legit to quit !!!

spiny oyster, turq, jet...the stones look real to me...

polish it up and see it POP !!!!

 

Thank you so much. I'll do that. I have to repair one of the turquoise stones as it was stepped on and it's split apart. Maybe @kyratango can make a suggestion on how to do it.

 

that siggy could be a bitch to find......but worth the search....

 

I started to look The first character seems to be a horse and the largest character appears to be interlinked letters or characters. At least that is what I see so far.

 

found these I'm the second box I was unboxing from storage. They had a $4.99 goodwill tag over original JI Co (just found out what the stickers said). Don't remember when or where I got them. I also unwrapped this murano piece which had a goodwill sticker for $19.99.

 

Glue and paint if there is a gap?

 

What kind of glue. This is a little missing bit. What material would be paintable! Thank you.

 

To check if the stones are plastic, get a pin and heat it and it should go right into the stone.

 

NO - not the hot pin test!!!! Especially since you can only test the fronts and if they are plastic you will have a hole in one of them!

Use the tooth tap test, a gem tester, have a jeweler look at them, don't do the hot pin test
