Danielbarber321 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 7:02 pm Have this lovely silver pendant which I think looks amazing and would like to wear it myself. Just wondered if anyone had anyone had any information on it, as I found it in a old coin collection within a drawer and most of the coins date in the 1920s or a tad less? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 11:22 pm I like it. You might be surprised what some religious medals fetch at auction. Yours looks pretty old and I just looked at a couple few hundred and haven't seen this one. St Christopher is a common Saint on Catholic medals. Probably the second most popular appearing on them. St. Christopher is revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. He holds patronage of things related to travel and travelers. Poor baby Jesus face got rubbed pretty good there, which doesn't help any for sure as he carries him across a dangerous river. Report this Post to the Staff

Still a Saint, just lost his feast day about 50 years ago. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
