Well, maybe it's not dirty, but it's gold, and it's the coolest thing saw online yesterday. Not my pics. Initials, dates, and what could be a ruby. I'm thinking perhaps a 40th (ruby) anniversary gift, but who knows.

50th anniversary for someone named Ruby?

Treashunt · January 23, 2014 10:58PM

wow, very nice

That's cool!

As much as I hate old coins to be defaced this is awesome and a piece of art. I guess there's a trade off.

Where is Ripple Rock?

Beautiful.... would like to know the history behind that... Cheers, RickO

<< <i>Where is Ripple Rock? >>

Cripple Creek (1900)

very neat item, I like it.

One set of initials and the Cripple Creek reference has been solved. The owners great-great-grandfather opened a saloon there in 1900. The rest should now be trivial.

Very much cool.

That is fantastic.

I see some pre-CW dates. Wonder how many of those coins had "C" or "D" mintmarks planed off for the engraving?

ricko · March 4, 2014 11:24PM

Good research....thanks for the update...Cheers, RickO

Thanks for sharing it!

The receipt above points to 221-223 Bennett Ave. Google Maps is your friend in this case.

Wow, very cool.......
Somebody had money back in the day.......

Here's a shot including that building in the 1920s (note doors with oval window panes).

Pretty much the same view up the street in December 1913

If they would not have been made into a Bracelet I doubt it if those coins would be around today.

johnny9434 · March 6, 2014 5:15AM

thats cool

coindudeonebay · March 6, 2014 7:53AM

Pretty cool, this street is essentially unchanged for almost 100 years!!

JJSingleton · March 6, 2014 8:58AM

Very cool indeed!

Very very cool pieces! I especially love the Cripple Creek connection, what a great little town (I plan to spend another evening there during the Summer Seminar)!
