Thinking of buying this and would like a 2nd opinion on value. Thank you.

This is a custom made necklace featuring a 1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar in VF condition. It is attached to a heavy 18" stainless steel chain. The bail is 14k gold. The ends of the chain and the coin swivel on 3 pins inside the bail. It is an unique well made heavy piece, in excellent condition.

Get a second opinion on the authenticity of the 1799 coin. I have seen copies made for jewelry purposes.

I read the article thank you for that very interesting. So let’s assume it’s real he guarantees authenticity in writing with 100% rating. What would you consider its value?

If you can't get it looked at by a legitimate coin dealer before you buy, stay very far away from it.

Touch a magnet to it, if it sticks its a counterfit, simple easy cheap test.

It’s not very fine cause it’s got a big dent in it and it’s holed. Even if it’s real, the value will be greatly reduced.

What is it worth?

$700 appears to be the price for a legit one in that condition holed. That gives you the artistic portion and the little bit of gold for free. That assumes it is legit. Even in terrible condition they go for a few hundred. As long as the seller accepts returns as you get it checked out I'd say you can't really go wrong. Nice looking piece, just wish it was silver chain too.

EDIT: I see the seller does not accept returns, I'd be very cautious.

Thanks HWJ I’m gonna pass, but thank you for the worth.

Just on the face of the concept, I would have been very leary. First, if the coin is legit and still worth hundreds, you are talking about taking a $$$ coin and slinging it around your neck to wear down just like if you were rubbing it in your hands all day long. Eventually you would have a smooth silver disc on a chain. Second, if the coin is this valuable, why is it being put on a stainless chain? The value of the chain is typically proportional to the value of the pendant.

Now that makes sense. I think I’m gonna just get my 1829 Reales I found a bezel and wear that and just get a 1799 Slabbed.

 

[WaterScoop]

Another RED FLAG for me was that the chain was stainless steel. Most people know that you do not put a hard metal next to soft metal it will wear. I would expect at least a silver chain since they are so cost effective. But can you imagine the SS chain rubbing on the gold loop holding the coin?

As you likely know by now I trust No-Body but My 'Late' Mother.

If you got the funds & the Patience to do a return if you have to ,go for it ...I would not tho.

Unless I could handle loosing the $.

As for the Magnet test , a funny thing is at my Coin Shop they can take a 'Strong' magnet , put a Morgan Dollar on the Glass top then put the magnet on the Glass underneath the Silver Dollar ; slide it around & it will move the Dollar.

Maybe Something in the Glass or maybe a .small, percentage of Nickel in the Coin. IDK

Also it seem's Stainless , Gold & Old Silver make for a strange combo.

GL on your decision.

I found it in a sidewalk strip a year before I joined TNet. 9” down a black as the ace of spades. I didn’t even know what it was till I got home and had to clean the heck out of it. I found it only a couple months of detecting. Best feeling in the world Davers.
