Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 5:11 pm Idk is it drilled or welded on? If it's super glued on you could separate the two pieces without harming the coin:p Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 5:31 pm I think that the loops are generally brazed on, but a close-up on that part of the edge would help us to figure out the method for attachment. Also, if the chain is silver, then that should add to the value.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 5:55 pm Personally I like it, even if the method of attaching the coin. Destroyed the value I think it's a nice piece. I wouldn't mind a necklace with a nice coin attached. Report this Post to the Staff
westy00 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 6:43 pm I looked up the chain manufacturer . John F Sturdy and company known for quality watch chains which is of ocurse separate from the coin. Could be white gold . I'm going to investigate .. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 6:49 pm @westy00 it would make a large difference in value knowing what the chain is made of. A simple check to see if it's magnetic would rule out a lot of different metals including steel. Edited by Wrekkdd 12/10/2021 6:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westy00 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 8:10 pm Ever so slightly magnetic Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 07:22 am Somewhere on the chain, in tiny numbers will have what kind of silver alloy it it and maybe what country. It could be 925, 920, 900, 800, 600. It a nice chain that would be a better fob if the token wasn't attached. The token is probably ruined but had little value anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
