The caveat would be, "Are they still nice coins or did they suffer damage?" Coins that were used as jewelry can go either way. If genuine gold, you will have a nice nest-egg to be used for other coins or whatever. I personally do not like the obverse, although the reverse looks quite nice. What are your intentions?
