Clad or silver dime homemade pendent

JVA5th · Nov 21, 2021

Finally got out a bit. Cruised around a park for awhile lots of annoying beer caps, tons of pennies, a really ugly cheap ring, and this semi neat I think pendent someone made with a clad or silver dime. I'd hope it's silver but doubt it lol I can't tell.

I think is 1964 so it'd be silver if I'm right

Neat find and silver to boot.

It looks like 1964. If it were clad, it would be dark. Also, look at the edge to see if there's a copper core.

I thought it was junk when I found it and threw it in my junk bag. Got home and saw the edge looked like a coin. Also was dark colored when I found it so didn't think much of it. Gave it a vinger and foil treatment then polished it with a silver polish cloth and it shined right up. I'm guessing who ever made it never took the dark color off when they cut it out from the heat. So made it look clad colored. Almost tricked me and made me almost toss it lol
