I'd say if it was put in that gun from long ago, the gun is probably worth far more with it in it. Thus it would be a dumb move to pull it out :)  Quote:
Please post more pictures of the entire gun with it in it.  |

The grip has 5 kill notches marked on the side with the coin if you look closely.   |

Exceptional weapon, worth much more than the coin. Although the coin adds a sense of history. Don't remove it.
So glad you asked before you grabbed a knife to pry it out.

Navy revolver? $5000 pistol, $5 dime.
As the song about Billy the Kid goes, "He'd a notch on his pistol for 21 men." Wild Bill Hickock had a pair.

Great piece, this revolver. I can't help but wonder if the embedded dime could someday prove a clue as to the original owner?

Back of the coin has all kinds of info engraved on it, plus there is an 1852-D gold dollar underneath it.

Looks like he hired a rat to carve out the hole for the dime

Remington Model 1858, .36 caliber for those curious. Probably a reproduction, which is not to knock this particular example. Very collectible and worth far more than the embedded dime. Thanks for sharing!

All original, not a reproduction. My dad was a serious collector with many rare things that were used in books bc he had the only known specimens in existence. I inherited some extremely nice stuff from him when he passed away. |
