1930 , 1944 are the only dates shown 3 facing forward 2 showing reverse what should I even do with this . I'm a lil disappointed they are glued to this bracelet ... another old trunk find .  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

The two reverses are Roosevelt dimes, and there's a chance (perhaps a small one, given the age of this piece) that they're not even silver. Likely worth only melt for the silver value. Edit: I see mint marks on the reverses, so they are indeed silver. Edited by Alpha2814

Clean it up and use it for a key chain. Should get alot of comments and questions on it.

Yea individual key fobs.  If not concerned about a little damage, try a soak in turpentine or paint remover, may loosen them out and remove residue. This may have been a children's birth year momento! |

As is you currently got five silver coins worth at least melt value. If the bracelet is not vintage and you remove them you at least have that. The coins, if removed will have residual(s) to deal with.
Not a jewelry expert, but think unless there is a rare key date or variety in the mix, the value might be close to double as is in the bracelet.
Being I'm not a jewelry expert and have yet to research the coins presently showing individually, I would still check for any "Silver Marks, Makers' Marks or Hallmarks" prior to disassembly, as you might want to take that into consideration.
That said it (the bracelet portion) doesn't appear to be precious metal, but I'm looking only at an image and would double check. Thanks, Doug.

Your LCS can quickly tell you if the settings/links are silver. In any event, an interesting piece.  to the CCF! |

Clean it up and let someone wear it. It will be a conversation piece.

Ty to everyone's reply. I think I'll just keep it as it is . It was worn by my grandmother as seen in some old photos of her . And yes it is very old not sure when it was made but from my old pictures she had it in the mid 50's thank you all for the thoughts :)

If you ever get the coins out of the bracelet, use them in parking meters.
