Many coin dealers put down high quality coins that detector hobbyist dig-up saying, that a dug coin cannot be in MS condition. I have sent more than a dozen such coins to grading services that have returned with MS 60 to MS 64 grades. All of these coins have been silver and include silver dimes (1861, 1883, 1892, 1923, 1925), quarters (1924, 1930, 1952 ), halves (1904 , 1935) and silver dollars (1885 , 1896, 1921). Several of these I have used in playing the “crack-out” game but most I have sold.

Coin Jewelry can be divided into two major categories: whole coins and cut coins. This article will seek to give the origin of and details about both types.

Whole coin jewelry has most likely been around since coins were first invented. It is thought that Egyptians would decorate their soldiers with medals similar to coins of their day. And, as long as soldiers and civilians have been traveling, the coins of other nations have been a great souvenir to take back home. Travelers would have coins finished whole or with added engravings to be used as necklaces and rings.
