Jpe123 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 5:20 pm Hello all, new guy here. Looks like a good group. Check this out. I have no idea if it's real or not. Granny had it for years. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Jpe123 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 6:00 pm Thanks! it's hard to see because of the way it's mounted. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 8:43 pm Looks real but may have been cleaned since it was used as jewelry. Welcome to the mix!! Report this Post to the Staff

Jpe123 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 11:50 pm I'm illiterate when it comes to coins. Any idea what it is? I could remove it from the necklace but that would destroy the piece. Then I'm sure my grandmother would let me know she's not happy. Report this Post to the Staff

Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 12:23 pm Looks real enough from here, but of course it's hard to tell. Could be lamination from rim through U into and back up in the hair? Maybe some VAMmers will see something they recognize. Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 4:32 pm Absolutely real. When that piece was made, you could get a coin like that for a dollar. No reason to counterfeit it. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 4:48 pm Don't remove it from the jewelry it is part of. It is more attractive remaining as found and it would not increase the value of the silver dollar. More likely, it would show problems on the coin from the mounting which would devalue it, rather than making it more valuable. Report this Post to the Staff
Half Pillar of the Community United States 606 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 05:19 am That is a pretty piece of jewelery. Definitely leave it as is. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 10:30 am Very nice piece. I'd leave it as is, and maybe get it checked out by a jeweler. Diamonds? Gold? Report this Post to the Staff
