This is posted purely for amusement. I did not do this myself, I can assure you.

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.

Not abused - value the artwork separately, if interested in buying.

I would not collect this piece as a coin, but is is very desirable to some.

In the same class as enameled coins.

@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.

If bought for silver value, this item has been bought well.

An impressive find. One person's abused piece is another one's treasure.
