Wow; good showing so far, everyone ! There is more of this stuff out there than I had anticipated. @ pepactonius: I really like that enameled item. This was quite the 'thing' in the late Victorian era. Here is one of mine, another (later date) half crown:   Keep them coming! |

@ mysilveryears I don't think you should be posting coins for your challenge. But that's just my opinion.

I like this one! Me too. Nice Peruvian coin. Nice jeweler metalwork as well. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

A coin from a bracelet my grandma's father gave her in 1936. He acquired it when he fought in the Spanish Civil War.  A Mercury dime ring (also from my grandma).  |

  I have been on a leave of absence from "go fish", but when I saw the contest, I needed to share this gem. Yes, it was quite a fad in Victorian England to make this stuff. |

Automatic win if you happen to have another silver coin dated 1822 used as a personal ornament. Well, folks, against the odds, oriole has done it. He has posted the coin that I wish mine were. So, unless someone else crawls out of hiding in the next few minutes with *another* 1822, in which case there would need to be a popular run-off vote, I think it's fair to say we have a winner. I am quite impressed by the quantity and quality of entries in a challenge which is less about coins than about artisanry. (If that's not a word, then I just made one up.) I hereby declare oriole the champion of this round. And a hearty THANK YOU goes out to all who took the time to participate. Perhaps there should be a people's choice vote for second place? |
