Great looking chain and religious idol! Some people might consider it inappropriate to sell for scrap weight, but I wouldn't be one of them! If it was my find to sell . . . I'd be on my way the to the casino immediately following! :wink:
 

My son found a cross a few weeks back and it has the same INRI on it.Does anyone know what that stands for?His was a silver color though.
 

Nice weight a bit of change on that one :thumbsup: Good find Dd60

The letters “INRI” are initials for the Latin title that Pontius Pilate had written over the head of Jesus Christ on the cross (John 19:19). Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire.

The words were "Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm." Latin uses “I” instead of the English “J”, and “V” instead of “U” (i.e., Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum). The English translation is "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

Artist's impression of Christ on the cross. The Early Church adopted the first letters of each word of this inscription “INRI” as a symbol. Throughout the centuries INRI has appeared in many paintings of the crucifixion.
 

Now that is some nice gold... Congrats :icon_thumright:
