I just finished making this necklace up with some of my holeys.

That is sooo cool

Well, I don't see any gold coins. But obviously you reserved those for the matching set of earrings you have yet to post.

I can identify many of the coins. Some I cannot:

What is the coin with the "IIII" on it?
The rightmost coin?
And the two coins to the either side of the 3CS?

I bet it makes a nice silvery sound.

Also, perhaps it should be modeled by the one you give it to so we can see the jewelry as-worn? If they want their picture posted forever on the internet that is.

Nice! Shame about that Seated Half though, I would've loved that coin without a hole...

I have an ear ring with a gold 1$ coin.

You know I like it. It took me a while to get over the "holeys'', but I did

Oh, and Ken, your loops holding the coins are cheap

pcgs69 · February 14, 2009 9:34AM

Are you going to wear it? I'd love to see a pic of that.

Ah, they're silver.

So is this how we will recognize you at shows?

mrearlygold · February 14, 2009 9:43AM

It's "you" Ken. Not couture, but definitely PAture

CarlWohlforth · February 14, 2009 9:44AM

I like it! The IIII had me confused for a while there until you explained it. Thanks I didn't get some of the others either.

Holey coins keep me interested in buying for my personal collection during this time of having an extremely limited coin budget. I can buy coins for resale but can only buy holey coins for my permanent collection.

I put mine on a baseball hat. I'm not a big jewelery guy so I'm not sure how I'd feel wearing a coin necklace. I could wear a belt but I'd be very embarrassed if a male collector wanted to get a closer look at something.

So I'm sticking with my hat for now. If my type set gets big enough I may go for a vest like Lord Marcovan...

How about a picture with you wearing it?

(nice necklace)

pennyannie · February 14, 2009 9:48AM

Lets see a pic of you with the BLING on.

MORGANHUNTER2 · February 14, 2009 10:02AM

If you wear this out in publik- you are a coin geek and GAY!
