The bezel setting is primarily Sterling Silver with solid 10-karat yellow gold prongs and bail/bale (gold fineness may actually be a bit higher than that, probably around 12-karat.

Questions are welcome but please ask them Before buying/bidding, not after. One of the most attractive coins of the season so far, an entirely unique and one-of-a-kind piece of heirloom-quality jewelry, and as no two cob coins are exactly the same neither will any two authentic coin pendants be exactly the same, either. After the end of auction, this exact piece will be sold and never be available for purchase again, if you really love it then consider bidding sooner rather than later (this applies to all authentic coin jewelry). Will make a very striking, impressive gift for someone this holiday season (or gift to yourself!), there will also be smaller authentic coins available in pendants, as well as coins set as earrings and a few rings, as well, check back soon if you don’t see what you’re searching for, new pieces of jewelry, coins, coin jewelry, and other treasures will be uploaded and listed regularly through the holiday season, multiple times per week! Thank you for looking! ***This coin has not been graded ***The coin has a counter-stamp on the cross-side, slightly to the left of dead-center. I have so far been unable to identify the stamp precisely, but there are close-up photos for you to see for yourself, and this is such an interesting and elegantly unusual counter-stamp design that, if anything, enhances the beauty of the piece, as well as appear to many collectors. Pendant setting is designed and crafted with the coin’s numismatic integrity in mind, holding the coin securely in place without causing any damage to it, retaining it’s value for more traditional collectors in addition to jewelry buyers.
