Ever seen cuff links like this? Post your old coin jewelry.

Have had these cuff links for a few years. I always thought they were pretty neat. I figure they were done for one of the expos around 1905. Anybody seen one like this before?
Thanks,
Richard

    There were several of those pushouts (cufflinks, pendents etc) for sale at the Garlic Festival here last fall. Cheers, RickO

    I've heard them refered to as "pop outs".

    Cool stuff.

    I need to find the actual item or pics, but my grandpa had a vest made with buttons out of his buffalo nickels a few years before he died. Not sure if grandma still has it or not.

    A Christmas present for myself!
    I picked up these cuff-links tonight from my local dealer for only $25! They're nice and thick, can't wait to wear them!

    I wish I'd taken photos of the 12-coin Oregon half dollar belt I saw once in Florida! Sterling silver and turquoise stones with the 12 coins, wagon side up. Gaudy as all get out but amazing.

    This has been my money clip for a few years. I have another one with the reverse of a british crown just like this.

    Is that a patent number or a patent date on the back of them? Maybe me eyes are playing tricks on me, but it looks to say "PAT NOV. 22 1931"

    However, the one JazzmanJAB posted below seems to say "PAT NOV. 22.04" so not really sure.

    Many are for sale on eBay. Search for "repousse"

    Also look at: Pop Out Coin

    Katherine Jaeger's Guide Book of United States Tokens and Medals has a section
    on popout coins. You can borrow a copy of the book for free from the American Numismatic
    Association's Dwight N. Manley Library, if you're a member.
