I'm not sure but does that pendent say "1880" on it? Old and beautiful.

Nice find! MackyDon nailed it! The dates can be very deceiving , not from 1890 but still awesome!

I believe that medal is dated 1830 actually.

I believe that medal is dated 1830 actually.

the date doesn't have anything to do with manufacture. The dates are associated with significant occurrences , such as. Sainthood , or when people claimed to have had visions of her , etc

The quarter is in great shape. The 1911 Canada coins are unique because they are called the "godless" coins. They didn't have "dei gratia" on the back like all the previous years and caused a public outcry. It was added back on the coins in 1912 and every year since.

Nice to know! Learn something new everyday. I was replying to alchemist when he asked if the date was 1880 and i said actually it's 1830 and btw I have seen many if that same medal with the 1830 date.
