Interesting CBH

Leave it in? Take it out? How would you remove it? How old is the pendant? Any thoughts?

    I agree with Lance. The rim/edge is likely damaged. If it were mine, I would simply sell it as-is and let somebody else take the risk.

    It's cooler as-is or otherwise it's just another 1818 CBH.

    I'm surprised at how high grade and original the coin is. I don't recall ever seeing anything like it. Solid XF+ coin inside.

    If you remove it, what would be your intention? Could well have rim damage and be worth much less than in the holder. That is, if your intent is to sell it. If you intend to keep it, then do whatever suits your plans. Cheers, RickO

    Thanx for all the positive comments. I wish I knew the history of it, or when it was 'made'

    Nice vintage holder. Made by wrapping a flat strip around the circumference of the coin, soldering the ends together under the loop, and then gradually wrapping the flat strip around the rims of the coin.
    I like it. Leave it as is.

    I'm thinking it was a watch fob. That would date it to the pocket watch era. As such, I would leave it alone, otherwise it's just another ex-jewelry with no knowledge of what.

    I am in the leave it alone camp....
