Chaddyray New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/29/2017 11:40 pm Hello. I'm looking for some some help with this coin. Could you give me your Two Cents please? Btw... This was given to me by my dad from my Grandmother. This is how it was when I got it. It's been in a safe for years. Edited by Chaddyray 06/29/2017 11:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 04:19 am Provided it can be removed from the bezel without the slightest sign of damage, it has some quite significant value as a coin. If not then it only has jewelry value. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 05:35 am to CCF. I agree,but I bet there will be some degree of damage. It will still have a collector value as well as a gold value. The sentimental value should out way both. Here is a retail value http://www.coinprices.org/cgi/coinp...proof=&plus= Also check ebay sold values. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 10:34 am Sometimes it's best to just let it be where it is. This is a higher mintage issue. Not going to gain much removing it from the bezel which is probably also gold. I say in this case, keep it as is since it is a common date. Report this Post to the Staff

nutmeg Valued Member United States 338 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 11:09 am I would leave it alone. Consider it family history. Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 11:36 am Unless you can get the prongs off without scratching the coin I'd leave it be. Maybe take it a professional jeweler since they have small tools and have steady hands. I actually managed to remove a coin with prongs without damaging it with a very thin piece of wood so it would not scratch the surface Report this Post to the Staff
