Rather than ruining one coin, let's ruin two!

While that is very sad indeed...the mountings were probably put on around the time that the coins were new! The years are very close and the mountings match. They have a true "antique" look about them. Historically, it would be interesting to know who they belonged to and when but, those questions will probably never be known now.

You would have thought the maker would have least got the obverse coin right side up.
Rest in Peace

I guess we must remember that for many, many years the value was only two dollars. Not insignificant at the time but a fairly economical piece of jewelry. They only went for $137.00. Maybe they can be taken apart and made to look a little better. I have a 1852 and 1853 in about EF/AU on the way to me right now. I like these little one dollar gems so this makes me quite sadMike

Why on earth would anyone do that. Drilling a hole in a coin to wear is bad, but soldering 2 dollars together with a pin is awful. What a waste.
