[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 10036459, member: 360"]Silver-coin jewelry was very popular in the early 1900s. I've seen bracelets, cufflinks, belts, necklaces, belt-buckles, brooches, watch-fobs, etc, all made of old silver coins. It wouldn't surprise me if what Komo says is right - that it was made back in like, the 1900s, when these coins were still relatively new, and turned into a watch-fob. It would explain why there's no wear on them, because they weren't passed around everywhere for 50 years or whatever. The guy I bought it from didn't know any of the history, except that everything was solid silver.[/QUOTE]
