Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 03/01/2022 09:58 am I think I can anticipate the responses on this, but just for curiosity I would appreciate some thoughts... Obviously it is in a pendant, but it's also polished. A beautiful coin... But worth approx $46? Report this Post to the Staff

As a coin, it's likely it's damaged from being mounted for use as a pendant. The damage most likely significantly reduces the value of the coin to the point its value is likely tied to its intrinsic value - about $10. As a piece of jewelry, some might pay $45. I think it would depend on how much silver is in the pendant mount. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 03/01/2022 9:26 pm Yes, this is a beautiful type ... I have also thought of buying one for the representation of San Marino. But be careful. I am not sure this is the real coin, maybe a medal or replica. Edited by tdziemia 03/02/2022 07:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 08:00 am I am 90% confident this is not the real 20 lire coin. On the reverse, the engraver's name is not present on the crenellated wall, and the symbol below the 20 L. plaque is not correct. There is also the unnatural color/appearance https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces24563.html I think for about twice this price you could eventually get a real one in nicer condition. Buona fortuna! Edited by tdziemia 03/02/2022 08:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 10:52 am @tdz... I think you are right! Goes to show how much more I have to learn. As it turns out, this is a common pendant available at some time in Italy .... As jewelry and not made from original coins.... I have spotted many fakes, but annoyed this one got past me ... Fortunately I did not buy it. Thank you all ... Report this Post to the Staff
