I'd hate to sell or melt rings that old. Seriously doubting you would find the original owner on that one less you found them in a grave yard somewhere but the sentimental value of it to me would be too much to let them go. Mainly cause the oldest rings I've ever found were found on a civil war site and one my brother found also belonged to a civil war soldier. I seriously doubt in my time I'll ever find a class ring of that age around these hills.
