Why? There are millions and millions of these coins that are circulated. What else do you do with them (other than melt them) Now if they were FB or FBL MS coins I could see a problem.

I have a 1949-S PCGS MS66FBL Brilliant Prooflike Franklin that would look really nice as a necklace. I wonder how long it would take to go from the most valuable Franklin I own, to an ugly grey mess. Man I really hate when really nice coins are put into jewelry. I think they only do that because it makes my stomach hurt a little bit. These people are masochistic! They want me to suffer.
The older creations like this I think are very cool and I do bid on them. The new stuff, like this, that has been made is just passed over. This is one part of collecting my wife really cares for. See no harm in makeing and selling these just as long as they are not passed off as being Rare.
It's even worse when they are fashioned into pendants except for the identification tags that were made for soldiers during the civil war.
I once went up to the bank teller and commented on her beautiful necklace. It was a $10 gold coin with a more protective gold frame around the rim. She said "You want to buy it?" I thought she was kidding, she wasn't. I came right back with the price guide and showed her and paid her cash for the 1909-S Indian in AU. Pays to speak up.
