I Just Inherited This. 11 Gold Coins On A Bracelet.

Screw-top bezels like used here are designed to do little or no damage to coins. If you're going to sell them, remove them from the bezels, which will sell separately. Otherwise you're going to get that "ex-jewelry" crap from potential buyers.

For those not familiar, a screw top is like wrapping a cut tire around a wooden circle. The coin can't turn (it can be shimmed if need be) and only the rim contacts the holder. Neither obv or rev can escape, because of the tire shape.

The only possible damage is hits on the faces or wear from rubbing against clothing, which has already been dismissed.

, dkralston!

I dunno if other posters are deaf in the eyes or just totally unfamiliar with coin jewelry. These are quality mountings, the only better ones have crystals that cover the faces.

There is no solder, nothing needs cut, ignore any such comments.

Put on clean gloves, or hold the top of the coin in a towel between thumb and forefinger and unscrew the screw (if you're holding the coin, you can't accidentally scratch it).

Once the screw is out, move over a cushion and pull the ring at 9-3, and the coin should fall right out. Only pull the ring enough to get the coin out, they're reusable. Put the screw back in enough so it doesn't get lost.

Start with the $20, work down in size, saving the $3 for last. In XF, it could be worth a grand, double that in even dingy Uncirculated, which looks possible.

I realize everyone is trying to help, but geez!

OK, you have roughly 3.5 tr oz coin melt value, plus 2.5 tr oz most likely 14K.

$6048 melt value plus $1400 for the rest of it. Depending on what the $1 and $3 look like close up, you might be looking at $7500-8000.

Dang that's a cool bracelet and heavy! Sell it to a collector who will enjoy it and pay more a pawn shop etc

I was able to unscrew the 3 dollar piece, but all other the bezels have a drop of solder on the screws, so this is the only one I could free up. And there is just a slight dent on the head's side in the 3 o'clock position (from the bezel I presume). However the tails side is damage free! Quite nice detail!

I also included some close ups of the 5 dollar piece.

The $3 piece looks to have XF/AU detail, a few scratches on the reverse. Still a neat $600 or so piece if genuine. Can you post pics of the 1909-s indian half eagle?
