[QUOTE="Hamburger, post: 3713030, member: 17940"]Thanks for all the input so far! The coin is indeed both an ex-coin and not of any great value. By 1890 they were using .900 silver, [I][B]but[/B][/I] the coins were smaller and much less impressive than the Maria-Theresien Talers and weighed less than half as much. Only around 11 g of fine silver and I've seen them go for 7 EUR on eBay. (I've also seen dealers asking 40 EUR for particularly good examples). Similar mounted coins seem to go for around 30-35 EUR. The chain is 60 cm long and it was easy to remove the pendant. There are indeed marks, but I'm really struggling with them: [ATTACH=full]312408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312409[/ATTACH] I know those photos aren't great but they do capture pretty much everything. Maybe one of our experts can nevertheless get something from them? [ATTACH=full]312410[/ATTACH] :shame: I think it was already clear that the world of jewellery is not my world. ;)[/QUOTE]
