I stopped by an indoor flea market today a saw this coin bracelet with a crappy gold wash. It looked brass and I was thinking it might be made up of some worthless European or Asian coins, but on close inspection I see they're Canadian and then I Googled the first date I looked at and found they consist of 0.925 silver alloy. It was 2 bucks and there are 13 coins total. Cost me $2.17 with tax. Not a big score, but something. This is what I have in old Canadian silver 5 cent pieces.

Very nice.. If you are interested in selling it, let me know.. I live in B.C., Canada.. so it has more of an interest to me than many other items

Well let me think about it. I just put it in a pile of silver jewelry I've been collecting.
 

I've never even seen one of those denominations. I think people overlook handmade items or designs that are less than eye appealing. But they can be good deals like this one.
 

And, of course, there were numerous Roman mints that minted the same coin with slight variations. Without a mint mark, the challenge to adequately ID those coins is then increased.
