US Philippine territory coin

These were part of my parents wedding ceremony in '59. I was told even the triangle with their name inscribed were melted silver coins. Mostly 40's coin except for a 1937P. I'm sure only melt value on the coins due to being soldered together. I just thought I'd share.

    that is very cool.
    I do not think it has any real value above content but I doubt if you would want to sell it anyway

    Sentimental value exceeds melt by far, but I'll bet even as a piece of numismatic jewelry it has a little more value than melt.

    A nice piece.

    That is very nice. Thank you for sharing it. I am always interested in anything connecting coins and family in this way. It is definitely a treasure. Keep it safe and pass it on.

    Thanks to all for your comments. The reason I posted and shared is that my son and his fiancée wanted to mix a Filipino and Vietnamese tradition to their upcoming wedding and my future daughter-in-law is interested in the jewelry in which most Filipino wedding has some kind of coin included in their wedding.
    Thanks again.
