chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 11/07/2007 6:09 pm It almost looks like there is a bezel around the coin. It looks like there was a chain attached up there by the top of Lincolns head. Report this Post to the Staff

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 12:45 am Sure looks like it. Notice where the chain/loop would be fitted- just so that Abe's image is right-side-up. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 02:33 am You guys have it right. The coin is encased in a bezel that has had the small ring used to attach it to something broken off. Report this Post to the Staff
ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 06:30 am I have seen these before. I believe they were for charm bracelets. I seem to recall seeing one that was even gold plated as well. Richard Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 4:41 pm I've seen different rim marks on coins that people remove from a good luck holder on a coin. It is worth more in the holder than removed. Why, the rim gets distorted when you remove it or is already distorted when put into the holder. So leave them in. Otherwise it becomes a cull Cent when removed. But I believe the answer on the above coin is the correct assumption. Report this Post to the Staff
