However, I do collect coins that have been turned into jewelry or other objects. While it is debatable whether it is an improvement, it seems to have been done fairly well.

I would not collect this piece as a coin, but is is very desirable to some. In the same class as enameled coins. Edited by sel_69l 12/17/2020 12:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 06:38 am @sel, I was tongue in cheek with the term "abused". I have already bought it for the silver value, so yes I do value it for the art work, although purely from a numismatic point of view it is a damaged coin. Fortunately it is a very common type only worth the silver value anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
