Gold Pendant
I found a pendant inside a coin counter that is marked .925 and 14K. It has small 14K ornaments on the silver. It is slightly larger than the quarter, but the same thickness. However, I don't hear a silver sound. Is this normal because of the gold?
1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.

Nice good luck pendant. The shape of the object could be the cause of it not "sounding" like silver. Coins have that distinctive and familiar sound which is enhanced by their rounded disc shape. Is that a Rhinocerous depicted on it?

Thank you about telling me about the sound. I am not sure what it is, but I have seen it on other good luck pendants, too.

It's probably an elephant, which is a common good luck sign, it just looked a little funny. I have seen a few variations of this pendant with different symbols in the clover leaves. Since yours has a heart with an arrow through it depicted on one leaf, I believe it is supposed to bring you luck in your love life.

I have seen many items that are silver with gold inlays or vice versa. It is not so uncommon. The fob is silver, the symbols depicted on each leaf and in the center are 14k. Granted, they could be very thin accoutrements but gold nonetheless.
